Nikon Monarch 5 20x56 Outdoor Binoculars

Optimized for long-range use, Nikon's 20x56 Monarch 5 Binocular is the most powerful in the Monarch series and received upgrades from the Monarch 3 design to improve image quality with the same focus on comfort and performance the line is known for.

Even with an uncontested heritage of all-conditions optical performance, the all-new 56mm objective MONARCH 5 further elevates its game with massive 56mm objectives and advanced low light brilliance. Nikon's ED glass lenses put it in a class of its own for battling darkness with sharp, high-contrast views. Long eye relief and tripod adaptable further its versatility.

Features:

Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass: For chromatic aberration compensation and brighter, clearer viewing.

Dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating: Ensures superior transmittance uniformity across the visible range for brighter images and more natural colours.

Fully multicoated lenses: Provide clear and bright images even when conditions are far from ideal.

Phase-correction-coated roof prisms: For enhanced resolution, contrast and natural colour rendition.

Long eye relief design: Provides a clear field of view even for eyeglass wearers

Eco-glass optics: that are free of lead and arsenic are used for all lenses and prisms

Waterproof/fogproof: Waterproof (up to 1m/3.3 ft. for 10 minutes) and fog-free with nitrogen gas

Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups: with multi-click facilitate easy positioning of eyes at the correct eyepoint

Rubber armouring: for shock resistance and a firm, comfortable grip

Lightweight body: uses fibreglass-reinforced polycarbonate resin

Tripod adaptor: supplied accessory

Featuring Nikon's ED Glass Lenses

All MONARCH 5 binoculars are now built with Nikon's legendary ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass lenses, which correct chromatic aberrations across the furthest limits of the visible light range and effectively compensate for colour fringing. Even when observing objects that would make chromatic aberration the most apparent - such as adjacent whites and blacks - the images will maintain superior contrast and resolution thanks to the ED glass lenses. The improved resolution also provides brighter, more natural-looking images, making the MONARCH 5 a serious contender to be your -go-to" binocular for years to come.

Enjoy Comfortable Viewing

Nikon has manufactured the MONARCH 5 binoculars, as well as many other of its optics, with a high-eyepoint design. This provides a clear field of view for everyone, even when the user is wearing eyeglasses, with sufficient space between the user's eye and the eyepiece lenses.

Greater Light Transmission

Multilayer coatings, which provide an even higher light transmittance across the entire visible light spectrum, are applied to all of the lens and prism surfaces that transmit light. This minimizes the loss of light due to reflection, thereby ensuring a more natural, clearer view.

Rich, Accurate Colors

This technique boosts light reflectivity for the full visible range, which provides clearer whites and a sharper, brighter, and more natural vision across the entire field of view.

Turn-and-Slide Rubber Eyecups

The turn-and-slide rubber eyecups allow users to adjust the eye-relief for a custom fit - providing a full field of view and maximum comfort during extended periods of use.

Durable Rubber-Armored Body

Built to handle any environment, the MONARCH 5 has a rubber-armoured coating to withstand extreme use and provide a non-slip grip, even in the wettest conditions.

Smooth Central Focus Knob

This intuitive design allows fast, detailed focus on subjects close-in or at a distance.

Waterproof and Fogproof

MONARCH 5 binoculars are Nitrogen filled and O-Ring sealed for complete waterproof and fog proof performance.
