Hawke Endurance ED 12x50 Binoculars - Green

The Hawke Endurance ED 12x50 Binoculars (product 47032420925747) deliver 12x magnification through a 50mm objective lens. That combination pulls in serious amounts of light and gives you a field of view of 91m at 1000m well suited to birdwatching and wildlife watching where detail at distance matters. The 12x power lets you pick out fine detail on distant subjects that lower magnifications simply cannot resolve.

Hawke's System H5 optics sit at the heart of these bins. ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass cuts chromatic aberration the colour fringing you see around high-contrast edges for sharper and more accurate colour rendition. Phase-corrected BAK-4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated lenses push light transmission high and keep images bright and clear even in poor conditions.

The polycarbonate chassis is wrapped in a textured high-grip rubber coating and weighs 805g. Nitrogen purging makes them fully waterproof and fogproof in all weathers. Twist-up eyecups with position stops give 15mm eye relief and the central focus wheel is smooth and precise. Close focus sits at 2.5m.

Hawke backs these with a No-Fault Lifetime Warranty. For wildlife and birdwatching use these deliver ED glass quality at a competitive price point with serious all-weather capability.

The 12x50 pairing gives an exit pupil of 4.2mm adequate for dawn and dusk use. ED glass reduces chromatic aberration by controlling how different wavelengths of light refract through the glass. Phase-corrected BAK-4 roof prisms correct the phase shift that occurs when light splits inside a roof prism which would otherwise reduce contrast and resolution. Fully multi-coated lenses minimise reflection losses at every glass surface. Nitrogen purging removes moisture from inside the sealed body preventing internal fogging when temperatures change.

The chassis is polycarbonate wrapped in a textured rubber coating for grip and impact protection. The optical elements use ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass and BAK-4 glass prisms with phase correction coatings. The body is fully sealed and nitrogen-purged to keep internal optics moisture-free.

Use a blower or soft brush before wiping lenses. Clean glass with a microfibre cloth only. Store in the supplied case away from moisture. Check the hinge tension and eyecup action periodically. The Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty requires the binoculars to be kept in normal working condition and free from accidental damage caused by misuse.
