Experience premium optical performance with the Hawke Frontier ED X 10x42 Binoculars – Green, expertly engineered for serious nature observation and outdoor exploration. Featuring Hawke’s advanced H7 optical system, these binoculars deliver stunning high-definition views with exceptional colour fidelity, clarity, and contrast.
The inclusion of Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass ensures precise control of chromatic aberration, significantly reducing colour fringing for razor-sharp images. The fully multi-coated lenses and dielectric-coated BAK-4 roof prisms maximise light transmission for exceptional brightness, even in low light conditions.
Constructed with a robust yet lightweight magnesium alloy chassis, these binoculars are nitrogen-purged, waterproof and fog proof, built to perform in any weather. A wide field of view of 112m @ 1000m and an apparent field of view of 64° provide an immersive viewing experience, ideal for tracking fast-moving wildlife.
Additional features include replaceable twist-up eye cups, stay-on lens covers, and a close focus of just 2.5m, making these binoculars versatile enough for both distant landscapes and nearby subjects.
