LotuTech® coating by Zeiss

LotuTec® Coating was developed by Zeiss and uses a principal from nature, that they call the Lotus flower effect.

That is the water repelling characteristic of surfaces, to simply let water drops pearl off as well as repel dirt. LotuTec® acts as protective coating and cleaning and care is made much simpler. This technology has been used for a while on Carl Zeiss spectacle lenses and has now been developed for most of the Zeiss Victory Binoculars range and is used on the Zeiss 8x42 Victory FL Binoculars

LotuTec® advantages:

• Dirt, grease and water repelling pearl-off effect.
