Product Overview

The model is often cited for striking an ideal balance between power and portability .

Key Features

Legendary XD Optics
At the heart of these binoculars are the PROMINAR XD (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses. Each tube contains a set of these high-grade lenses, which incorporate large amounts of fluorite crystal. This advanced glass is highly effective at eliminating chromatic aberration (color fringing) and intensifying contrast, resulting in stunningly sharp and clear images with natural color rendition .

Advanced Lens Coatings
Kowa applies its proprietary C³ multi-coating to the prism system, which enhances light transmission across the entire visible spectrum for improved brightness and color fidelity . Furthermore, the unique KR Coating on the exterior lenses repels both water and oil. This allows water to bead up easily and makes cleaning off dirt, sap, or fingerprints much simpler without leaving smudges .

Robust and Ergonomic Design
Built for extensive field use, the binocular features a lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy or magnesium chassis wrapped in a protective, slip-resistant rubber armor . The ergonomic body design ensures a comfortable and secure grip, while the precise central focusing wheel allows for smooth and fingertip control of sharpness .

Weatherproof Construction
The optical tubes are O-ring sealed and nitrogen-filled, making them fully waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes or humidity. This guarantees reliable performance even in the toughest environments .

User-Friendly Operation
The binoculars feature a locking right-eye diopter for precise focus calibration. The twist-up rubber eyecups with click-stops are comfortable for users with or without eyeglasses, and the generous eye relief makes them ideal for spectacle wearers .
