Opticron Explorer WA ED-R 10x42 WP Binocular (30772)

Being more compact than similar models of competitors, the Opticron Explorer WA ED-R binoculars are also the most balanced in terms of optical characteristics. Wide-angle lenses provide a large field of view at the level of the best examples of optics, and the Opticron Explorer WA ED-R binoculars have a minimum focusing distance of 2.5 meters, which allows them to be used for macro observations.

Low-dispersion ED glass with a proprietary broadband illuminating coating in red tones R-type guarantees image brightness, accurate color reproduction throughout the visible spectrum and virtually no color distortion. As befits premium-class optics, the rotating prisms are made of BAK4 optical glass and have a phase-correcting and dielectric reflective coating of the surfaces.

Dielectric coating of prisms Oasis-C+ Prism Coating — This is a proprietary 64-layer coating that is applied to the reflective surface of each Roof prism. Compared to cheaper silver coating (Ag coating) or budget aluminum coating (Al coating), it provides more than 99% reflection of light from the surface in a wider spectrum, which provides a noticeable increase in brightness and clarity. In turn, the phase-correcting coating combines the phases of all light waves passing through the prisms and prevents image blurring.

The assembly of the Explorer WA ED-R 10x42 WP binoculars, as is customary for all Opticron optical devices, is carried out at a high level, ensuring smooth movement of all mechanical components and a complete absence of backlash. The binoculars are sealed according to the IPX7 class, which allows them to be submerged under water at a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes without any damage to the optics, and the inside of the device is filled with inert nitrogen, which eliminates internal fogging and condensation during sudden temperature changes.

The lens and eyepiece covers are made of soft rubber and fit snugly, in addition, the lens covers are attached to the binocular tubes with rubber bands, which prevents their loss and allows you to use the binoculars quickly and effectively. The wide neck strap is made of neoprene - a dense and soft hypoallergenic material that does not absorb moisture and is wear-resistant.

Each Opticron Explorer WA ED-R 10x42 WP binocular has a serial number, which allows for better quality control.
