The dark blue 12x25 H2O Compact Binoculars from Bushnell are designed for long-range use in and around the water, with an anti-reflection fully multicoated lens system and BAK4 roof prism optical path designed to work together and transmit clear images with enhanced contrast and accurate color representation. Bushnell built them using ecologically friendly glass that is manufactured without lead to be better for the environment.
Optical Performance
- Powerful 12x magnification allows for detailed observations of distant objects such as buoys and navigational markers on the water
- 25mm objectives and a roof prism light path ensure the optic is compact and lightweight for easier handling
- BAK4 prisms deliver a round exit pupil, and a crisp and clear image with limited edge distortion
- Anti-reflection multicoated optics maximize light transmission while improving color rendition, contrast, and clarity
- Wide 60° apparent angle of view minimizes the appearance of the distracting hand-shake that is common when holding high-power optics, and presents an immersive observational experience
- 262-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
- Closed-bridge configuration offers a stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
- Textured and slip-resistant low-profile center focusing knob reduces the profile and minimizes snag hazards while still being easy to reach
- Right-eye dioptric correction dial helps to compensate for individual optical prescription
- Twist-up eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
Construction Details
- Ecologically friendly glass is responsibly sourced and made without using lead or arsenic
- Dual hinge design allows the two optical tubes to fold and tuck under the bridge to minimize the form factor for easier packing and carrying when not in use
- Lightweight and durable aluminum alloy chassis
- Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof to a rating of IPX7 and resistant to internal fogging
- Chassis armor with an aggressive textured design offers a comfortable and slip-resistant grip
- Compact 4.0" long design
- Light 10.6-ounce weight
