Product Description
The dark blue 10x42 H2O Porro Prism Binoculars are ideal for mid- to long-range glassing, especially on the water, where you need to be able to clearly see buoys and navigational markers. Bushnell built them using ecologically friendly glass that is manufactured without lead to be better for the environment.
They are outfitted with traditional Porro prisms that allow you to more easily discern relative distances between two chosen objects in your view and anti-reflection multicoatings that maximize light transmission to deliver bright, sharp, and clear high-contrast views with accurate color rendition and crisp resolution across a wide field of view. To withstand the harsh conditions associated with salt water environments, the chassis is made of corrosion-resistant aluminum and the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled to resist internal fogging and O-ring sealed to an IPX7 waterproof rating.
Optical Performance
High 10x magnification allows users to make detailed observations of distant objects
42mm objective lenses boost light-gathering ability versus compact models for improved low-light performance without the bulk of larger objectives
Traditional Porro prism design offers you a rich depth of field to more easily discern distances between two objects in your field of view
BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil, and a crisp, clear image with limited edge distortion
Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission while improving color rendition, contrast, and clarity
Exceptional 65° apparent angle of view presents an immersive observational experience without the need for a lot of side-to-side head movement and minimizes the appearance of distracting hand-shake
341-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
Textured and slip-resistant center focusing knob is easy to use even in cold and wet conditions or while wearing gloves
Right-eye dioptric correction dial helps to compensate for individual optical prescription
Twist-up eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
15mm eye relief improves viewing comfort with reduced eye strain
Comfortable 4.2mm exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open and dilate in low light and ensures the entire scene remains in view without vignetting
