Oberwerk at the Dayton Air Show: A Clearer View of the Sky

Oberwerk at the 2025 Dayton Air Show

As a Dayton-based company, it was especially rewarding to be part of this year’s Dayton Air Show, right in our own backyard. We had a fantastic time introducing our binoculars and binocular telescopes to aviation fans from across the region (and beyond).

Our booth gave visitors a chance to experience Oberwerk optics up close – from compact models perfect for fast-paced aerial displays to long-range binocular telescopes that revealed details you could never catch with the naked eye. Whether people were spotting distant aircraft or simply trying high-end optics for the first time, the reactions were a great reminder of why we do what we do.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to test a pair, ask questions, or just say hello. We’re proud to be part of the Dayton community and to have shared a clearer view of the sky with so many of you.

For those looking to recreate the experience at home, or gear up for your next air show, here are our top recommendations:

Customer Favorite – Oberwerk 8x42 and 10x42 Sport ED

The Sport ED Series is our top-tier roof prism design. These binoculars are compact, lightweight, and feature extra-low dispersion (ED) glass to reduce chromatic aberration, delivering vivid, razor-sharp images. They’re perfectly suited for tracking fast-moving aircraft.

The 8×42 model offers a wider field of view and is easier to hold steady, making it ideal for following motion. The 10×42 gives you more reach and detail, suited for users comfortable with precise tracking. Both deliver outstanding performance – choose based on your comfort and viewing preferences.

Our Favorite – 8x32 and 10x42 Special Edition (SE)

Oberwerk 8x32SE Porro Prism Binocular

The Special Edition (SE) series offers comparable optical quality to the Sport ED Series but at a more affordable price. Its wider ergonomic design may feel bulky to some, but many users find the broader grip easier to hold. The wider-set objective lenses also provide better depth perception compared to the Sport EDs, giving the SE an edge – especially considering its lower price point.

Budget-Friendly – 6.5x32 Explore

Unique in several ways, the 6.5×32 Explore is Oberwerk’s smallest, lightest, and most affordable binocular. It has the widest inter-pupillary distance (IPD) range in our lineup (51–74mm) and the lowest magnification, which makes it the steadiest handheld option. Plus, it boasts a generous 8° field of view- perfect for sweeping sky views.

Highlights From The Show

Bring the Action Closer with Oberwerk.

Whether you’re planning your next trip to the air show or simply want to enjoy distant views in sharp detail, Oberwerk has the optics to bring you closer to the action.
