I could see from some of the online photos that these were made in Japan ("Japan" is printed on the front cap covering the tripod mounting adapter thread-in port).




While it may mean just that, it is not always an indication that the binocular is made in Japan. It is more an indication that the company is based in Japan.

I have binoculars that have Japan embossed on the axle cover between the eyepieces, but they are made in China. Nikon Action Extremes.
