The MKS 15710 is the standard Kizumi in Japanese workshops: a lightweight, matte black body that sits securely and comfortably in the eye socket, with a cleanly ground lens without edge distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe No. 2.5 is the all-round magnification in the series (approx. 5.0x; the number refers to the focal length in inches, according to old watchmaking tradition – the smaller the number, the stronger the magnification). It is the one loupe for the daily workbench: disassembling and assembling movements, changing batteries, setting hands, checking condition – strong enough for precise work, with enough working distance for free handling with tweezers and screwdrivers. If you're only getting one Kizumi, get this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat distinguishes this tool from European counterparts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFunctionally, the Kizumi corresponds to the well-known Swiss eye loupes (Bergeon 4422, etc.) – the difference lies in fit and weight: The Japanese design is flatter and sits much more securely on many face shapes without a retaining wire or straining the eye area. In Japan, the Kizumi is part of the official tool lists for the state watchmaking examination; the MKS version is the widely used professional quality there. Anyone who has ever worked with a poorly fitting loupe knows: the fit determines fatigue-free work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe series includes three magnifications: No. 2.0 (approx. 6.0x), No. 2.5 (approx. 5.0x, this offer) and No. 3.0 (approx. 4.4x) – all available individually in our shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMagnification approx. 5.0x (focal length 2.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003eReference: MKS 15710 No. 2.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew, original packaging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNote\u003cbr\u003eImproper use of tools can damage watches.
