Built for serious outdoor viewing, the Nikon 12x50 Monarch M5 Binoculars combine powerful 12x magnification with bright, clear performance in low light. With ED glass for excellent resolution and clarity, they are waterproof and fog-proof for dependable use in the field.

Ideal for birding at dawn, boating at sunset, or observing the moon and stars, these binoculars deliver a wide field of view while remaining comfortable to hold. Extra-low dispersion glass elements, fully multicoated optics and highly reflective dielectric-coated, phase-corrected roof prisms work together to produce sharp, high-contrast images with true-to-life colour and reduced colour fringing. The durable fiberglass-reinforced nylon chassis keeps weight down to just under 1.5 lb.
