Story from Nikon
Nikon announces the introduction of its most advanced, highly engineered MONARCH binocular ever. The new MONARCH HG was built from the ground up to achieve class-ruling optical performance, unrivaled ruggedness and exceptional handling. From eyecups to objective lenses, the new patriarch of the flagship MONARCH family pushes binocular performance to higher levels through design, technology and 20 years of MONARCH ATB-building experience.
All-New Optical System to Achieve Class-Ruling Optical Performance
Every precious moment one spends in the field deserves the advantage of extraordinary performance. To this end, Nikon engineered the optical system of MONARCH HG around its signature ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and enhanced multilayer lens and prism coatings for brighter, higher resolution viewing. Nikon’s all-new Field Flattener Lens System works in conjunction with MONARCH HG’s extraordinarily wide field of view —8.3°and 6.9° respectively in the 8×42 and 10×42 models—to provide a sharp, clear view to the lens periphery. Field of view for 8×42 model is 435ft@1000yds and 362ft@1000yds for the 10×42 model. High-quality multilayer coating is applied to all lenses and prisms while dielectric high-reflective multilayer coating is applied to the roof prisms, achieving a bright view of up to 92% or higher light transmittance, and natural color fidelity
Building the Ultimate All Terrain Binocular
Because a binocular of this caliber must always perform and do so without weighing you down, MONARCH HG’s body is die-cast magnesium alloy. Providing optimum strength, impact resiliency and weight reduction, the slim body profile is further enhanced with rubberized panels to provide a sure grip in any conditions. To assure long-term optical acuity, scratch-resistant coatings protect MONARCH HG objective and eyepiece lenses, while interior lenses are shielded from fogging with an extreme waterproof rating that assures fogproof integrity even in low-pressure environments up to altitudes of 16,404ft/5,000m equivalent. And MONARCH HG binoculars are not only built for all-terrain ruggedness and all-conditions integrity, Nikon’s No-Fault Repair/Replacement Policy also protects them for life.
