The model number for this specific variant is typically 158042R .

Key Features

IPX7 Waterproof & Fogproof Construction
The binoculars are O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged, making them waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This prevents internal fogging and ensures reliable performance in rain, splashes, or accidental submersion .

Fully Multi-Coated Optics with BAK-4 Prisms
The lenses feature multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces to maximize light transmission and brightness. This is paired with high-quality BAK-4 prisms (in a roof prism design) for enhanced contrast, resolution, and edge-to-edge clarity .

Lightweight & Durable Aluminum Chassis
An updated, lightweight aluminum alloy frame provides exceptional durability and stability in extreme temperatures without the bulk. This makes the binoculars comfortable to hold and use for extended periods .
