Nikon 16×56 Monarch M5 Waterproof Binoculars

Optimised for long-range the Nikon 16×56 Monarch 5 Binoculars are the most powerful binoculars in the Monarch series with superior image quality and a focus on comfort and performance.

• Powerful 16x power is optimised to make detailed observation and identification at extreme distances
• Large oversized 56mm objectives maximize light-gathering ability and help to offset the dimming of the view that often accompanies high-power optics when viewing at long range
• Roof prism light path ensures optical tubes remain thin for a compact form factor
• Extra low-dispersion glass reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast, improved color rendition, and sharpness without distortion across the entire field of view
• Phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve light transmission, contrast, and resolution
• Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission across the entire visible spectrum for accurate color rendition and improved contrast and clarity
• Highly reflective dielectric prism multilayer coatings boost internal reflection to >99% to maintain image brightness and improve contrast and clarity

The Monarch M5 are a high-quality series of Binocular from Nikon, perfect for taking on hikes and other outdoor adventures – this is thanks to their excellent optical performance in all conditions and their rugged, waterproof design. While retaining the same optical elements that made the original Monarch 5 Binoculars so popular, including ED glass elements, the Nikon Monarch M5 Binoculars feature a redesigned body with a cleaner, sleeker look. Colour fidelity and contrast are top-notch, thanks to the application of multilayer coating to all elements, as well as phase-correction and high-reflective multilayer coating on the crucial roof prisms.

Featuring extra low dispersion glass elements with anti-reflection, fully multicoated optics and highly reflective dielectric-coated and phase-corrected roof prisms, the Monarch 5 produces bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate colour rendition and minimal colour fringing across the entire field of view. The oversized objectives boost their light-gathering ability and help to offset the dimming of the view that often accompanies powerful optics such as this when observing long-distance subjectsensuring bright and clear views even in challenging light conditions.

Complementing the optical performance are construction details that make these binoculars durable and comfortable to use. They have a lightweight, reinforced polycarbonate ATB chassis and are protected by rubberised armour that is accented with indented palm rests to give them a secure nonslip grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature variations and environmental conditions. A one-piece ocular rain guard covers the eyecups as the binoculars hang around the neck and prevent rain and spraying water from filling them, and the objective lens caps are also tethered to keep them safe from being lost on the forest floor. The combination of high power and large objectives may cause distracting hand shake or arm fatigue when they are held by hand, so Nikon includes an adapter that allows the Monarch binoculars to be easily mounted on a tripod or other support system for hands-free use.
