Integrated precision reticle

It is highly visible and provides measurements in meters or feet (0.305 m).

Measurement example:

A 10 m high boat crosses your course. On the number scale of the reticle you read the value 20. The distance to be calculated results from the actual size, in our example 10 m, divided by the read size, in our example 20, times 1000. 10 m / 20 = 0.5 m x 1000 = 500 m. The ship is therefore 500 m away.

RUGGED – BUILD FOR HARDEST CONDITIONS

• Polycarbonate housing reinforced with high-tech fibres, extremelyresistant and at the same time ultra-light. Thanks tothe non-slip, shock-absorbing NBR Longlife rubber armouring,the glass is resistant to oil, acid and salt water.
• Unique floating prism bearing: Due to the permanently elasticmounting, the optical parts are optimally protected againstshocks and the adjustment remains unchanged and precisefor decades.
• The new open-bridge system makes the binoculars easy touse with an grasp hand and hold.
  That is quality for a whole life.
