Elite performance optics that travel as hard as you do.
When you demand best-in-class clarity, durability and reach, the Monarch HG 10×42 steps up. With Nikon’s highest-grade magnesium-alloy chassis, premium ED glass, expansive field of view and weather-sealed rigging, this 10×42 binocular is built for serious fieldwork—from dawn patrols in the woods to scouting distant terrain from a ridge.
Why photographers and outdoor professionals like the Monarch HG 10×42
-
10× magnification paired with 42 mm objectives offers powerful reach with exceptional image brightness and portability.
-
Wide apparent field of view (62.2°) and real field of view of 6.9° (362 feet at 1,000 yards) make locating and following fast-moving subjects more intuitive.
-
Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass and multi-layer lens coatings reduce chromatic aberration and improve contrast and clarity—even at the edges.
-
Dielectric high-reflective prism coatings and phase-corrected roof prisms boost light transmission (claimed ≥ 92%) and preserve color fidelity in challenging light.
-
Rugged, lightweight magnesium alloy body, rubber armoring, and nitrogen-filled, O-ring sealed internals make it waterproof, fog-proof and ready for rugged conditions.
-
Practical user-features: locking diopter adjustment ensures your focus stays locked; turn-and-slide eyecups and generous 17 mm eye-relief accommodate eyeglass wearers comfortably.
