The numerous technological improvements introduced by the company in this model bring the Athlon Argos G2 HD 12x50 binoculars closer to premium optics while maintaining an affordable price.
A high level of protection is provided by the use of a durable and reliable magnesium housing, sealed to IPX7 water resistance, blown with inert argon to prevent fogging from the inside, and a special protective hydrophobic coating of the lens lenses XPL Protective Coating, which prevents minor scratches and the accumulation of moisture and dirt on the lenses.
High quality image transmission is ensured by the use of low-dispersion HD glass in the lenses, advanced multilayer illumination of each optical surface Advanced Fully Multi-Coating, as well as highly reflective dielectric ESP Dielectric Coating and phase-correcting coating of prisms made of high-quality BAK4 optical glass.
Convenience of use is facilitated by the modern layout of the body with the Top Hinge upper hinge bridge, large diameter of the focusing drum, retractable eyepiece frames, and lens caps secured with straps to the body to prevent accidental loss. Each Athlon Argos G2 HD 12x50 binocular has a serial number, which allows for better quality control.
HD Glass. The lenses of these binoculars use low-dispersion HD glass, which significantly distinguishes this model from binoculars with achromatic lenses made of ordinary glass. HD glass provides a smaller scattering angle of the light spectrum, which reduces chromatic aberration (color distortion) and achieves a clearer and more contrasted image transmission.
Advanced Fully Multi-Coated. These binoculars have improved full multi-coating of optics, which means that a broadband multilayer coating is applied to each surface of the optical system. This multilayer coating largely prevents the reflection of light in the entire visible spectrum. This allows for more than 99% light transmission through each optical surface, resulting in high image brightness, natural color reproduction, and the ability to observe more effectively in twilight.
X
PL Protective Coating. An additional layer of external protective hydrophobic coating of the objective lenses, which provides extra protection against accidental scratches, accumulation of dirt, oils, and water droplets on the lenses. Thanks to this coating, when using binoculars in the rain, it is enough to simply shake the binoculars vigorously to remove all drops from the lens and then continue observing effectively.
BAK4. In order to eliminate significant light losses in the rotating prism system, this model uses prisms made of high-density BAK4 optical glass (barite crown). This glass has a higher refractive index, which allows you to minimize light losses and obtain a perfectly round exit pupil with an equally bright image from edge to edge, avoiding vignetting (visible darkening of the image due to cutting the light beam at the periphery of the exit pupil).
ESP Dielectric Coating. Modern binoculars with a Schmidt-Pehan Roof prism design necessarily require the application of a reflective coating to one of the prism surfaces. Dielectric highly reflective ESP coating (unlike aluminum or silver) is considered the most effective, reflecting more than 99% of the light that falls on it. Only such a coating can provide the highest possible light transmission and brightness of the image transmission by binoculars. This type of coating is quite expensive, therefore it is used exclusively in high-end optics.
Waterproof. Regardless of whether you got into a heavy downpour or accidentally dropped the binoculars into a body of water, the level of protection of this model allows you to be sure that moisture will not get inside and nothing will happen to the binoculars. After all, these binoculars are sealed, sealed with rubber O-rings, and have a class of protection against moisture penetration IPX7, which means resistance to moisture ingress when immersed to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Fogproof (Argon Purged). This model is fully protected against internal fogging due to sudden temperature changes. The binoculars are internally purged with argon, which eliminates the possibility of oxygen or water vapor inside the binoculars, which could condense on the glass or cause corrosion of the metal parts of the case. The use of argon is more expensive compared to nitrogen purging, but argon is an inert gas that does not react with the environment even at high temperatures, unlike oxygen.
Magnesium Body. A special alloy of magnesium, aluminum and a number of other alloying metals with low weight has a strength 40-50 percent higher than traditional aluminum alloys used in the production of optical instrument housings. Binoculars made of magnesium alloy are not only more reliable and durable, but also have an excellent appearance due to the precision machining of magnesium bodies.
