Taking their place at the top of Nikon's flagship series, these 8x42 Monarch HG Binoculars are engineered with complementary technologies to deliver an optic that is built to perform in low light and the harshest conditions.
Lead- and arsenic-free extra-low dispersion (ED) glass is used in the lens elements to correct chromatic and spherical aberrations. The phase-corrected and dielectric-coated roof prisms limit internal light loss and interference and improve image contrast. The optical path is fully multicoated with antireflective coatings to increase light transmission, image contrast, and sharpness as well as provide true color rendition. Nikon's field-flattener system eliminates the distortion common at the lens edges, producing crisp details along the far periphery of the wide field of view. This all translates to bright, clear, high-contrast images with accurate color across the field of view—especially in low light including early morning, late evening, and under heavily overcast skies.
The chassis is built with a short bridge design, which presents more gripping surface and helps to reduce the overall weight. Made to survive use outdoors, the optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for fog resistance when moving between extreme temperature changes as well as waterproof and submersible. The exterior has textured, rubberized panels to protect against knocks and drops. It offers a slip-resistant grip for sure handling in cold and wet conditions. The tethered objective lens covers and ocular rainguard ensure they won't get lost and are ready at a moment's notice.
Engineered for performance and durability, the Monarch HG will be your constant companion when conquering peaks or braving storms.
