Hawke Frontier ED X 10 x 32 Binocular in Grey #38408
Brand New UK Stock, boxed with full Guarantee
The 10x32 Frontier ED X Binocular from Hawke Optics features phase-corrected and dielectric-coated BAK4 roof prisms with anti-reflection fully multi-coated extra-low dispersion (ED) objective lenses that work together to produce a versatile and capable optic with bright and clear high-contrast images and accurate colour rendition across its spacious and generous field of view. Coupled with the optical features are compact 32mm diameter objectives that straddle the line between compact and full sized to give you the performance you need without the bulk that might weigh you down as you hike the trail, climb to an observation deck, or just sight see around the city.
Complementing the optical performance are construction details that make this binocular durable and comfortable to use. The lightweight and durable magnesium-alloy chassis is protected by a green rubberised armour that is textured for a nonslip grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature or environmental conditions. A right-eye dioptre adjustment and twist-up eye-cups allow the binocular to be customised to most people's needs and can be comfortably used with or without eyewear. Protecting the objectives and eyepieces are tethered caps that come off fast for easy reaction to glassing opportunities without the possibility of losing them.
From the trail to the range to the stadium—wherever you go, the Frontier ED X is sure to be your constant companion to see what you need to see.
Optical Performance
High 10x power magnifies the view while preserving a wide exit pupil and long eye relief to make viewing easier and more comfortable
32mm objective lenses provide adequate light-gathering capability while remaining lightweight and compact
BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
Dielectric prism coatings boost internal surface reflectivity to greater than 99% for maximum light transmission through the prism with minimal loss and diffraction and improved contrast and clarity
Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations to produce views with true colour rendition without halos, diffraction, or distortion across the entire field of view
Phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve contrast, clarity, and resolution
Anti-reflection fully multi-coated lenses maximise light transmission for bright and clear images with accurate colour rendition
Water-repellent exterior lens coating allows water to bead and run off to ensure clear views in inclement weather conditions
Wide 62° apparent angle of view presents an immersive observational experience for enjoying spacious views that require very little head movement to see sweeping vistas
324-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
Closed bridge configuration offers a stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
Fast focusing system runs through the minimum focus distance to infinity in just 1.5 turns to make acquiring subjects fast and tracking moving targets easy
Large slip-resistant centre focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold or wet conditions or when wearing gloves
Right-eye dioptre adjustment enables users to compensate for optical prescription for sharper views
Wide 56-74mm interpupillary adjustment range allows easy use by wide variety of people
Twist-up click-stop eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear; removable and replaceable
Comfortable 15mm eye relief improves viewing comfort and reduces eyestrain during long glassing sessions
3.2mm exit pupil
