Kowa Binoculars BD II 10x42 XD wide-angle (63445)

The Kowa BD II XD wide-angle series represents a blend of cutting-edge optical technology and durable design, offering exceptional imaging performance at an affordable price. These binoculars utilize Kowa’s premium XD lenses, which incorporate high-quality fluorite crystal to deliver sharp, high-contrast images with virtually no chromatic aberration. Designed for outdoor enthusiasts, they combine rugged reliability, lightweight construction, and comfortable operation, making them suitable for extended use in challenging environments.

Optical Excellence:
Unlike standard ED lenses, Kowa’s XD lenses feature large amounts of fluorite crystal for superior light transmission and edge-to-edge sharpness. This ensures stunning clarity and natural color reproduction. The lenses are further enhanced by Kowa’s multi-coating technology and KR coating, which repels dirt and fluids while maximizing light transmission.

Durability and Reliability:
The binoculars feature a magnesium alloy chassis for strength and reduced weight, surrounded by protective rubber armor for durability and grip. Fully waterproof and nitrogen-filled, the BD II XD series prevents lens fogging and withstands harsh conditions. These binoculars are built to last, ensuring long-term reliability.

Wide-Angle Performance:
The BD II XD series offers a class-leading wide field of view certified under ISO 14132-2 standards. For example, the BD II 32-6.5XD model provides an impressive 175m field of view at 1000m distance. This wide-angle capability allows users to locate subjects quickly while maintaining sharpness across the entire image.

Comfortable Operation:
With an ergonomic design, tactile rubber armor, smooth focus wheel, and twistable eyecups, these binoculars are tailored for comfortable use by both spectacle wearers and non-spectacle wearers. The diopter adjustment system allows users to customize the viewing experience to their specific needs.
