Your classic companion for stargazing and nature in the Engadine
The Polarex 70mm Spotting Scope is a used gem from the era of iconic Unitron and Polarex binoculars – perfect for discerning observers in the Engadine, from twinkling stars and sils to sharp wildlife sightings in St. Moritz. With its air-spaced achromatic 70mm objective lens (focal length approx. 1050mm, F/15) and coated lenses, this Japanese masterpiece (Nihon Seiko) delivers clear, color-accurate images with an erect, natural picture – ideal for astronomy, birdwatching, or landscape studies. The robust alt-azimuth mounting head with turret for up to four eyepieces allows for quick magnification changes (e.g., 16x–66x), and the compact design fits seamlessly on table tripods. In condition C (visible signs of use, but fully functional and optically clear), it comes with a case and tripod – a vintage bargain for retro enthusiasts! At Optik Foto Rutz, your expert for classic optics, we know: With this Polarex, you'll immerse yourself in the magic of the stars, and all at an unbeatable used price!
