I already had the pleasure of presenting you, about six years ago, the review of the Zeiss Victory Pocket 8×25, while in November 2020 I proposed to you, with the same format, a reportage at the Reserve Brabbia Natural Marsh. However, some readers passionate about “compactness” have suggested that I write an in-depth review of the 10×25 model. For this reason, thanks to the collaboration of Handbooks, I had the pleasure of using these small but excellent binoculars for a few weeks, which I am often happy to tell you about, and which are capable of surprising owners of binoculars with much larger diameters. It costs 899 (Bignami's suggested price – February 2023), and benefits from a ten-year warranty.
The VICTORY POCKET series is available in two sizes: 8×25 and 10×25.
ACCESSORIES SUPPLIED
The packaging of these binoculars features the same design (and class) as the entire Victory series.. It is sold in an elegant white case featuring a prominent image of the binoculars. Opening it reveals a naturalistic scene depicting a mother bear and two cubs. Inside, protected by a thick, shock-absorbent material, the binoculars are clearly visible, alongside a small case similar in shape and color to the one used in the Victory SF42 series. The carrying strap is included. The quick guide and lens cleaning cloth are also included. Lens covers are not included.

MECHANICS AND FOCUSING SYSTEM
The Zeiss Victory Pocket 10×25 benefits from an asymmetrical bridge that gives it a compact size that can easily fit into a shirt or jacket pocket. Thanks to the use of magnesium alloy my electronic scale estimated a weight of 290 grams. The dimensions are: 112mm in length and 74.8mm at the thickest part of the closure, becoming only 68mm in the area near the lenses.
In my opinion The asymmetrical bridge allows for greater sturdiness, thanks to the presence of a single zipper and, furthermore, with a little practice it is possible to open and close it with just one hand. The mechanism is very solid and flex-free, better than the one on my economy-class compact binoculars with double hinges that often close due to the sheer force of gravity. The bridge is very wide, creating a very secure grip. The weight is slightly biased toward the eyepieces. Personally, I found the right comfort by using my little finger and ring finger on the optical tube, my middle finger on the control bridge, and my index finger perfectly aligned with the small focus knob.

20x13 cm approx.
It is protected by a high-quality rubber armor in "Zeiss black." To maintain the characteristics of the Victory series, it is waterproof up to 100 mbar, filled with nitrogen and capable of operating at temperatures ranging from -25 to +63. The care and quality of the components used are truly TOP OF THE LINE. It is a small optical gem. Even the interior of the tube is excellently designed and I only noticed one slightly bright area, albeit slight near the prisms. As I mentioned, its shape allows for an excellent grip, which is often not possible with ultra-compact binoculars. It's so comfortable to wear that it sometimes feels like you're looking through 30mm binoculars.
FIG.3 – In this image you can see the focus and dioptric correction
The Zeiss Victory Pocket 10x25 focuses using a small knurled knob. I measured the minimum focusing distance, and it was 190 cm, as stated in the specifications. From this distance, you need to rotate the dial clockwise about one and a quarter turns to reach infinity. Thanks to the minimal distance between the optical tubes and its size, I didn't notice any eye strain even when observing subjects as close as about two meters for extended periods. It's also excellent for nature observation of flowers and butterflies.
The dioptric compensation adjustment mechanism of the right eyepiece is also appreciable. Not a simple ring was inserted into the optical body of the eyepiece, but another wheel on the front part of the bridge. The precision is high and requires much more force when rotating than with the focus knob. This prevents any accidental loss of the adjustment which I remember being +-3. Both knobs are not big enough to facilitate use with winter gloves but honestly I would have expected a worse performance, also because the central knob is very smooth, free of play and with knurling that makes it easy to use.

OPTICS
Goals
They are the heart of this little system and have amazed me on every outing. It features high-quality optics called "FL" optics, undoubtedly featuring a blend of fluorite components. Contrast is extremely high, as is sharpness, as you'll see; even in testing with the USAF CHART, it proved to deliver benchmark performance. The color tone is slightly warm, which further accentuates the micro-contrast.
FIG.4 – The objectives that equip the Victory Pocket are excellent
The most demanding enthusiasts who perhaps already own a TOP OF THE RANGE binocular will undoubtedly appreciate its performance which does not decrease even when moving from 8x to 10x. . Another advantage of the Victory Pocket is its light transmission equal to the 91%, which allowed me to observe at twilight better than some mid-priced 32mm binoculars. The lens is recessed into the optical tube by a few millimetres and this allows both excellent protection from bumps and scratches but also excellent glare control in the presence of sunlight in the framed scene.
Eyepieces
I often don't have a great feeling with the eyepieces of compact binoculars: they are too small, they have uncomfortable eyecups that insinuate themselves around the eyelids, pressing on them and giving the impression of being surrounded by the eyepiece. I'm very satisfied with the Victory Pocket's eyepieces. They have a diameter of 32.95 mm, feature a lens hood with a decidedly soft edge, and—for my eyesight—are very comfortable, or at least among the most comfortable, if not the most comfortable, in the compact binocular sector. In addition to this they benefit from a wide angle field, forget about the “keyhole” effect with these binoculars, the linear field is in fact 105 m at 1000 metres, or 6 degrees with a consequent apparent field of sixty. The immersion in the scene – to quote my friend Piero Pignatta – is excellent. I measured an interpupillary distance between 35.58 and 73.70 mm, while at 66 mm distance the distance between the eyepieces is 32.38 mm, an optimal value for use even at shorter distances. They provide a wide-angle field. The distance between the field lens and the extracted edge of the lens hood is 12 mm, I had no problem observing with sunglasses even if a less recessed edge of the lens hood would have been even more suitable for spectacle wearers even if perhaps there would have been more problems in managing the lateral light.

Prisms
High quality components were used in this case too: Schmidt Pechan Bak-4 glass prisms. As you can see in this image, the exit pupil is perfectly circular and the edges are very dark except for the two small lateral areas. There is not even any obvious vignetting.
FIG.6 – The excellent exit pupil, circular and dark
Anti-reflective treatments
The Zeiss Victory Pocket 10×25 benefits from both the well-known ZEISS T* coating which allows you to obtain contrasting and bright images but also of the LotuTec® protective external coating. Repellent against water, dust, snow and fingerprints, it prevents the agglomeration of water droplets while making it easier to clean the lenses.
CHROMATIC ABERRATIONS
Chromatic aberration at the center of the field
Nothing to complain about. Excellent quality similar to that of its "brothers" Victory SF and HT. Chromatic aberration is remarkably well contained and is really difficult to detect when looking for it in high-contrast situations.
Lateral chromatism
The lateral chromatism obviously increases moving towards the edges of the field but always remaining minimally invasive. It is perceived as a thin green-purple halo around the edge of the most contrasted subjects such as backlit branches
GEOMETRIC ABERRATIONS
Field curvature
As is well known, the perception of field curvature is partly reduced by each of us's subjective visual compensation. In daytime use I noticed excellent curvature correction right up to the edges of the field. I'd say all six degrees of field can be used with great satisfaction. Excellent performance!
Angular distortion
There is some pincushion distortion, I would say less than the 5%, but more on man-made objects towards the 75% from the center of the field. While it is not very sensitive to rolling ball effect (see glossary) I also find it very relaxing to use in panning.
Other aberrations in astronomical use
When analyzing the stars toward the 90%, you can see a distortion that is almost entirely affected by the curvature of the field. In fact, when refocusing at the edges, you get the impression that the stars are almost as pinpoint as they are at the center. Once again, you can see the great care Zeiss took in crafting these small but high-performance binoculars.
FIG.7 – The Victory Pocket provides excellent containment of chromatic and geometric aberrations
USAF CHART TEST AT 35 METERS
I tested the Zeiss Victory Pocket 10×25 by mounting it on a photographic tripod with a Berlebach support and observed the USAF CHART located 35 meters away during three time slots of the day. I found that thanks to its excellent sharpness it is able to provide very respectable details, as you can see in the image published below.
This test also revealed excellent containment of chromatic aberration which was almost invisible even in the high contrast areas between the black lines and the white area.
REFLECTIONS, GHOST IMAGES
The “streetlight” test demonstrated excellent containment of the reflections that are perceived during the day, observing against the light with the sun very close to the framed field.
FIELD TEST
As always, I will cite my experience in the various observational sectors.
Birdwatching
I wouldn't usually recommend such a compact binocular to a birdwatcher, it would be better if he bought, for example, a Zeiss Conquest HD 8×42 or 8×32, but, if a product is excellent, it always performs well within the limits of its format. In fact, the Zeiss Victory Pocket 10×25 is comfortable, bright, displays bright colors, a wide field of view and excellent containment of chromatic aberration. I've observed birds of prey, herons, and even tits that come to feed at the feeders in my garden several times, and I've always been very satisfied with its optical performance. I'm not saying it's comparable to the excellent Zeiss Victory SF 8x32, but if you already own an excellent 10x42 and want to get some satisfaction with a compact instrument, the Victory Pocket will certainly amaze you. Its size allows you to take it with you practically anytime, anywhere, and that's the value. added between being able to observe and not being able to do so.
FIG.9 – The Zeiss Victory Pocket 10×25 during a field test
Observation of the landscape
It's perfect for longer hikes, but also for classic family outings when you can enjoy a stunning view. The ten times of magnification, which is also well-managed thanks to its perfectly designed shape, allow for pleasant observation of distant details, and the well-corrected, wide-angle field completes the extremely satisfying picture I painted during my observations. It's a real pleasure to have 300 grams of quality in my backpack.
FIG.10 – The perfect panorama for these binoculars
Twilight observation
It's not as bright as the classic 8x56 format, but thanks to the Zeiss coatings and light transmission, it's superior to 10x32 binoculars that cost €250 and that I often use as a backup. In short, considering their diameter, I can confirm that they're very bright.
FIG.11 – Sun, snow, rain, nothing stops these compact binoculars
Astronomical observation
Sure, you'll say: there's very little to observe with such small binoculars. I can't help but agree with you, partly—they are, after all, instruments with 25 mm lenses—but:
It is sharp, the field of view is appreciable and allows, for example, to see the three stars of Orion's Belt perfectly pinpoint, you can also perceive the M42 Nebula and I was also able to observe Comet Neanderthal, when it was located between Mars and Capella and appeared as a faint nebulous sphere.
The edge-to-edge performance isn't that of a "totally flat field" binocular, but it delivers what I consider to be excellent performance for this particular format. The sharpness during lunar observation is excellent because—I repeat—it often gave me the impression of observing with a 10x30 and not a 10x25.
PROS AND CONS
Merits
Highest quality optics
Sharp and contrasty

IN SUMMARY
My field test leads me to believe that the ZEISS VICTORY POCKET 10x25, several years after its introduction, remains a benchmark in the compact binocular sector. It is sharp, lightweight, and high in contrast, with a wide field of view and a robust optical body. It is the ideal instrument for the most demanding enthusiasts who perhaps need a compact pair of binoculars to complement their top-of-the-line 42 mm binoculars. It is also excellent for those who want portability as the main focus of their equipment.
PRICE AND WARRANTY
The official price of the Victory Pocket is 899 euros with a ten-year warranty 5
