Description

Hands-free magnification for close bench work, worn on the head so both hands stay on the job. The Hawk Eye Head Loupes in Regular Focus Black offer lightweight, comfortable magnification for jewelers, metalsmiths, and other precision craftspeople. Made in Japan, these head loupes use large hard-coated acrylic lenses set in black TR90 memory plastic resin frames, a flexible, durable material that holds its shape and adapts to a range of head sizes. Eye pads are constructed from elastomer resin for extended wearing comfort during long work sessions.

These are the black-framed, regular focus versions of the Hawk Eye Head Loupes. A red-framed long focus version is also available (part numbers 129.813 and 129.814), offering a slightly greater working distance at each magnification level. The magnification rating is the same across both color versions; only the working distance differs. As with all single-lens optics, higher magnification brings you closer to your work.

Features

  • Lightweight, comfortable head loupe design for hands-free use
  • Hard-coated acrylic lenses resist scratching during regular bench use
  • Black TR90 memory plastic resin frame, flexible and durable
  • Elastomer resin eye pads for extended wearing comfort
  • Available in two magnification levels: 1.6X and 2.0X
  • Regular focus working distances suited for close-up bench work
  • Made in Japan

Available Options

Part # Magnification Working Distance
129.811 1.6X 9-3/4" – 13-3/4" (25–35cm)
129.812 2.0X 7-3/4" – 11-3/4" (20–30cm)

Notes

The long focus red-framed versions of the Hawk Eye Head Loupes are available separately: 1.6X long focus (129.813) has a working distance of 11-1/2" – 15-1/4" (29–39cm); 2.0X long focus (129.814) has a working distance of 9-1/2" – 13-1/2" (24–34cm). In single-lens optics, higher magnification results in a shorter working distance.

Nice buld quality but lens will not stay firmly in place in the detents.

I would have liked to have given these five stars and in a lot of ways, these are superb. The build quality is good and the lenses are large and clear ( I chose the standard 1.6x ). However, the problem I had, and these were brand new out of the box, is the position I needed the binocular lens to be in, would not stay put but would flop out to the next farther angle. It has detents you can kind of click the lens to and it would click out one detent away from where I needed every time. I was barely moving testing this and it would not stay in place. I already have the Eschenbach LaboMED optics and they do not budge. I bought these Hawk Eyes in the hopes of them being a second set I could take in the field. In any case, I returned these Hawk Eyes to the super people at Otto Frei and will stick with the, sadly, much more expensive German products. As a note, I read a very similar review to mine regarding the Hawk Eyes from a couple of years ago somewhere on a Reddit forum. But I tend to be cautious about other's reviews since maybe they abused them somehow. But it was pretty much same story as mine. If the company that makes these could build the optic holder stronger they's have a very competitive product here.

HAWKEYE EYE HEADLOUPES

I bought these to help when changing out watch straps. They are first class and very comfortable to wear.
The increased magnification when viewing anything is fantastic. The loupe glass ( the actual lenses) are made in Japan so very crisp when looking through them. Happy with purchase!
