Birding at dawn, boating at sunset, or gazing at the moon and stars—the Nikon 12x50 Monarch M5 Binoculars offer strong magnification and a wide field of view while still feeling light in the hand. Featuring extra-low dispersion glass elements with antireflection fully multicoated optics and highly reflective dielectric-coated, phase-corrected roof prisms, these binoculars produce bright and clear high-contrast images with true-to-life color and minimal color fringing. The durable fiberglass-reinforced nylon chassis is waterproof and keeps them lightweight at just below 1.5 pounds.
