Questions & Answers
Where are they made? Optics from Japan Germany or China? Expert Answer

Vortex does not provide the country of origin for their Diamondback HD 10x42mm Roof Prism Binoculars. However, the high-end models are produced in Japanese manufacturing sites whereas mid-range and affordable line of products are made in Philippines and China. I would recommend contacting Vortex directly for more specific information.

Yes, the exclusive grey color is the only difference.
