Leica Tempus ASPH Red Dot sight
The Tempus ASPH is Leica's first red dot sight: a compact and lightweight aiming device, it offers the exceptional optical and build quality that Leica's sport optics are known for, matched with flexibility, dependability and fast target acquisition capabilities
Leica's first red dot sight, the Tempus ASPH, was launched at the 2018 edition of the IWA expo in Nuremberg (Germany)
At the 2018 edition of the IWA expo in Nuremberg (Germany), Leica Sport Optics announced the launch of a totally new product for the company: a lightweight, all-rounder, compact red dot sight apt for use on long guns and handguns alike, as well as for hunting, sport shooting, tactical shooting, defensive and professional applications.
Dubbed the Leica Tempus ASPH, this new red dot sight is built around a hard-anodized, milled aluminum housing that's 53,5 mm / 2.1" long overall, 34,5 mm / 1.35" high and 28 mm / 1.1" wide, for an overall weight of 40 grams (1.41 oz.) with battery.
The 2 MOA or 3.5 MOA red dot is adjusted via an issued Allen key
Top optics quality is a distinctive feature of all Leica products; and making the difference on the Leica Tempus ASPH reflex sight is the 21x25 mm aspheric high-quality multicoated front lens, ensuring a crisp and clear visibility of the red dot in any and all light conditions.
The visible red dot sight is available in a 2 MOA or a 3.5 MOA version, and is manually turned on and off through two buttons located on the left side of the chassis; the same buttons allow the illumination of the dot to be adjusted on twelve different brightness levels.
Leica is the first premium manufacturer to implement its red dot sight with asphere, guaranteeing an even crisper and more brilliant image of the illuminated dot, extremely high image quality as well as excellent viewing comfort
