Usually HD Plus models are just labelled "HD", but with the HD in red rather than white.

 

I've just looked at mine: they are labelled HD in red text. So I still don't know the difference between mine and this new version.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I don't know. Looks like the same colour, but mine were labelled "Custom" while the new ones are labelled "HD Plus".

Hey, 

Thanks for your reply. I got a feeling they are the same thing, just that Leica decided to rebrand it and make it "Limited" to clear the balance stock of the "Custom's"

Could you advise if the eye relief is long enough for glasses wearers? Heard some reviews that it is quite short.

I don't wear glasses with them (or with cameras) so it's not something I can advise. With binoculars you really have to try them - there are all sorts of things to like or dislike about different brands. Rectilinear distortion, for example: I liked the fact that Leica binoculars do not show the rolling ball effect, while other high end ones are better corrected for rectilinear distortion but show rolling ball when panning.
