These binoculars offer enhanced viewing with powerful magnification for detailed observation across vast distances, ideal for expansive terrains. The extra-low dispersion glass ensures vivid, sharp images with true colours, while the improved field of view provides an immersive experience. Designed for comfort and ease of use, they feature a high-eyepoint design, precise focus control, and are tripod mountable. Their waterproof, fog-resistant construction ensures reliability in various environments.

Features

Improving on their Monarch 5 design, Nikon's black 12x42 Monarch M5 Binoculars is ideal for use in wide-open terrain, like what's in the American West, when you need to scan for subjects and make positive identification. They benefit from a wider field of view than their predecessor to present you with a more immersive observational experience, with the same focus on comfort and performance the Monarch line is known for. Featuring extra-low dispersion glass elements with anti-reflection fully multicoated optics and highly reflective dielectric-coated and phase-corrected roof prisms, the Monarch M5 produces bright and clear high-contrast images with true-to-life color and minimal color fringing.

Optical Performance

  • The powerful magnification allows for detailed observation of distant subjects across vast flat ground like the prairies of the American West
  • Larger objective lenses improve light-gathering ability without adding excessive bulk or weight
  • Roof prism light path ensures optical tubes remain thin for a compact form factor
  • Extra low-dispersion glass reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast, improved color rendition, and sharpness without distortion across the entire field of view
  • Phase-correcting prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve light transmission, contrast, and resolution
  • Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission across the entire visible spectrum for accurate color rendition and improved contrast and clarity
  • Highly reflective multilayer dielectric prism coatings boost internal reflection to >99% to maintain image brightness and improve contrast and clarity
  • Improved wider field of view than previous models presents a more immersive observational experience

Use and Handling

  • High-eyepoint design provides ample space between your brow and the eyecups for a clear field of view, even when you're wearing glasses
  • Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
  • Large slip center focus wheel allows for precise focus control, even while wearing gloves
  • Right eye dioptric adjustment collar helps to compensate for individual eye prescription
  • 56-72mm interpupillary distance range allows easy use by a wide variety of people
  • Twist-up/click-stop rubber eyecups for use with or without eyewear
  • Tripod mountable with optional adapter for hands-free use
  • Comfortable exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open when the light is fading to keep the full scene in view

Construction Details

  • Environmentally friendly Eco-Glass is made without lead or arsenic
  • Textured protective rubber armoring provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet weather
  • Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes and environmental conditions
  • Black coloring allows it to remain inconspicuous in all environments
  • One-piece tethered ocular rainguard protects eyecups from water pooling in them from rain or spraying water when hanging from the neck
  • Tethered fold-down objective lens caps prevents losing them during observation sessions
