Vortex Diamondback HD 10 X 42 generations query (1 Viewer)

[Helen79]

Hello,

I have just purchased my first ever pair of Binoculars, and they're the Vortex Diamondback HD 10 X 42.

After reading around, I'm led to believe there have been 2 or 3 revisions of this - one in 2016, one in 2019, and possibly later.

Can anybody please tell me the physical & noticeable differences between the old & newer version, please?

Many thanks.

Helen

If they say HD, they are the updated 2018 version.

There was an earlier Diamondback with green hinge area. Then it got revised to black metal hinge area.

The HD and this later pre-HD are physically similar.

The pre-HD came with a black box case, the HD came with a khaki chest harness.
