The Nikko 15 x 80 mm binoculars with 60-degree inclined oculars are a testament to the innovative advancements in Japanese military optics during World War II. As the third model in their range of 80mm objective lens binoculars, these binoculars were an evolution of the earlier 10 x 60, 60-degree inclined models. The real field of view of 4 degrees, combined with an apparent field angle of 60 degrees, provided users with a wider and more immersive visual experience, crucial for strategic observations in military operations.

Constructed in the late 1930's and early 194o's, these binoculars were a key component of the Japanese naval equipment. Measuring approximately 18 inches in length and 8.5 inches in width, they are distinguished by their significant size and heft, a characteristic feature of the period's military hardware. This design was aimed at maximizing comfort and efficiency for operators who spent long hours in skyward observation, a critical aspect of naval warfare.

Interestingly, these binoculars have transcended their original military use and have become sought-after pieces for collectors and enthusiasts. When fully restored, they are popular as functional decorations in high-end homes. Their imposing size, coupled with the historical significance and superior craftsmanship, makes them an exceptional and intriguing addition to any sophisticated interior.
