Nikon 16x56 Monarch 5 Binoculars are purpose-built for long-range viewing, offering the highest power in the Monarch range with outstanding image quality, comfort and performance.

• 16x magnification is ideal for detailed observation and identification at extreme distances
• Large 56mm objective lenses maximise light-gathering and help reduce the dimming often associated with high-power optics at long range
• Roof prism optical design keeps the tubes slim for a compact, easy-to-handle form
• Extra low-dispersion (ED) glass helps reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for better contrast, colour accuracy and sharpness across the full field of view
• Phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve light transmission, contrast and resolution
• Fully multicoated, anti-reflection optics maximise light transmission across the visible spectrum for accurate colour, clarity and contrast
• Dielectric multilayer prism coatings increase internal reflection to greater than 99% for brighter images with improved contrast and clarity

The Monarch M5 is a premium Nikon binocular series designed for outdoor use, making it a reliable choice for hikes and other adventures. Built for strong optical performance in varied conditions, it also features a rugged waterproof construction. While retaining the optical elements that made the original Monarch 5 Binoculars popular, including ED glass, the Nikon Monarch M5 Binoculars feature a redesigned body with a cleaner, sleeker appearance. Colour fidelity and contrast are excellent, thanks to multilayer coating on all elements, plus phase-correction and high-reflective multilayer coating on the roof prisms.

With extra low-dispersion glass, fully multicoated anti-reflection optics and dielectric-coated, phase-corrected roof prisms, the Monarch 5 delivers bright, crisp, high-contrast images with accurate colour reproduction and minimal colour fringing across the entire field of view. The oversized objectives increase light-gathering performance and help offset the view dimming that can occur with powerful optics, providing bright, clear visibility even in challenging light.

Practical construction details also make these binoculars durable and comfortable to use. They feature a lightweight, reinforced polycarbonate ATB chassis with rubberised armour and indented palm rests for a secure, non-slip grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to provide waterproof protection and resistance to internal fogging when moving between extreme temperatures and changing environmental conditions. A one-piece ocular rain guard protects the eyecups when the binoculars are worn around the neck and helps keep out rain and spray, while the tethered objective lens caps reduce the chance of loss in the field. Because the high magnification and large objectives can lead to hand shake or arm fatigue during extended hand-held use, Nikon includes an adapter for easy tripod or support mounting for hands-free viewing.
