Specifically engineered and built to withstand the rigors of life on the water, Nikon's black 7x50CF WP Global Compass Binocular produces bright and clear images, while reducing the disorientation commonly experienced when using binoculars in marine environments due to the rolling action affecting the horizon line when seen through magnified optics. An integrated compass features illuminated bearing indicators at the bottom of the field of view that won't obstruct your subject with horizontal and vertical distance and size estimation markers. Its large objectives gives the binocular high light-transmittance for enhanced low-light performance, and the large exit pupil which helps to further reduce the effects of rough and rolling seas. The Porro prism optical design combined with multi-coated optics produces high-contrast images with true color representation and long depth of field.
To hold up to the elements, the housing is made of corrosion and impact-resistant polycarbonate; with rubber armoring on the exterior to provide protection against drops and impacts, as well as providing a slip-resistant grip in cold or wet conditions. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled for fogproof performance especially when moving between extreme temperature variations. It is waterproof to 3.3 feet for up to five minutes, and if it should go overboard, a high-visibility floating neck strap is included so you'll be able to fish it out of the water in time.
