MINAR model 4x15 binoculars with Sprenger-Leman prisms, produced in the 1950s by the C.I.D.A.- Centro de Investigaciones y Desarrollo de la Armada (Research and Development Center of the Spanish Navy) in a limited number of specimens to be intended for officers of the Spanish Navy. There is also a civilian version, produced by LTIEMA for ENOSA which is totally inspired by the technical and aesthetic characteristics of this military version.

All lenses are coated with a particular anti-reflective treatment thus allowing clear and bright vision.

All mechanisms work precisely and the view is perfect, sharp and collimated.
