The Opticron Natura WA ED 10x42 is designed for wildlife enthusiasts and semi-professionals who demand a compact, high-performance binocular capable of delivering bright, relaxed and immersive viewing at long distances. Its wide 6.6° field of view offers superb spatial awareness, making it easier to track fast-moving subjects and observe wildlife in its natural environment. Despite its high specification, the Natura remains conveniently portable, offering an excellent balance of size, weight and optical performance.
Built around a compact, lightweight roof-prism body with a durable micro-hinge design, the Natura WA ED 10x42 is engineered to withstand demanding outdoor use. The textured rubber armour provides a secure grip in all seasons, while the nitrogen-filled waterproof construction ensures reliable performance in rain, humidity or challenging field conditions.
At its core lies an advanced ED (extra-low dispersion), fully multi-coated optical system featuring phase-corrected prisms and Opticron’s premium Oasis prism coating. Together, these deliver exceptional clarity, superior colour accuracy and improved low-light performance. The long eye relief eyepieces offer the full field of view even for glasses wearers, while the 3-stage alloy twist-up eyecups provide comfortable, tailored positioning.
Focusing is fast, smooth and precise thanks to the wide-wheel focuser with integrated right-hand dioptre adjustment. With a close-focus distance of just 1.9m, the Natura allows detailed observation of nearby subjects such as insects, plants and butterflies. A tripod adapter socket is included for extended viewing sessions or digiscoping setups.
Supplied in a soft case with a rainguard, neoprene strap and rubber objective covers, the Natura WA ED 10x42 is backed by Opticron’s 10-year guarantee, offering long-term confidence in both build and performance.
