About Hawke Frontier ED X 10x42 Binoculars - Grey

The Hawke Frontier ED X 10x42 (product ID 47032401887539) delivers 10x magnification through a 42mm objective lens. That combination gives you a 112m field of view at 1000m and an exit pupil of 4.2mm solid performance for birdwatching and wildlife watching in good to moderate light. At 725g it is genuinely light for a full-size 10x42.

The H7 optics system uses Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass paired with fully multi-coated lenses to control chromatic aberration and eliminate colour fringing. BAK-4 roof prisms with phase correction and dielectric coatings push light transmission to its highest level. The result is sharp, colour-accurate images with strong contrast. Water repellent coatings sit on the outer lenses.

The chassis is magnesium alloy wrapped in a textured rubber coating. It is nitrogen filled and waterproof to IPX7. Operationally tested from -15°C to +55°C. Focusing is smooth and precise with 15mm of eye relief workable with glasses. Every unit passes a strict quality control check covering resolution, light transmission and Strehl Ratio.

A lifetime manufacturer warranty backs the Frontier ED X. ED glass, dielectric prism coatings, IPX7 waterproofing and a magnesium alloy body make this a serious performer for field use.

Technical Details

The 10x42 format gives a 4.2mm exit pupil bright enough for daytime and low light use. ED glass cuts chromatic aberration by bending different wavelengths of light more consistently than standard glass. BAK-4 roof prisms with phase correction and dielectric coatings maintain contrast and push light transmission to its peak. Every unit is tested for Strehl Ratio which measures how closely the optics match a theoretically perfect lens. Nitrogen filling blocks moisture from entering the sealed body.

Materials & Construction

The chassis is magnesium alloy strong and light. It is wrapped in a textured rubber armouring that absorbs knocks and improves grip. The optical system uses ED extra-low dispersion glass elements and BAK-4 roof prisms with dielectric and phase correction coatings. Outer lenses carry a water repellent coating.

Care & Cleaning

Use a blower or soft brush before wiping lenses with a clean microfibre cloth. Store in the hard case when not in use. Keep the hinge and eyecups free of grit. Avoid impacts and do not expose to chemicals. The lifetime warranty requires correct use and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 10x magnification brings distant subjects in close and the 112m field of view at 1000m is well suited to tracking birds in flight. The 42mm objective lens gathers enough light for use in woodland and at dusk making it a practical choice for birdwatching and wildlife watching.
Extra-Low Dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberration which is the colour fringing you often see around high-contrast edges such as a bird against a bright sky. Combined with fully multi-coated lenses and dielectric prism coatings the result is a sharper, more colour-accurate image than standard glass binoculars at this size.
Eye relief is 15mm which gives spectacle wearers a usable view without having to remove their glasses. Twist-down eyecups let you set the correct eye distance so the full field of view is accessible whether you wear glasses or not.
Yes, they are waterproof to IPX7 which means they can withstand submersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes. Nitrogen filling prevents internal fogging when moving between temperature extremes so the optics stay clear in cold or wet conditions.
A tripod adapter can be fitted to the central hinge thread which is standard on binoculars of this type. Using a tripod is recommended for extended 10x viewing sessions as it eliminates hand shake and reduces fatigue.
The product page notes that accessories are supplied though the full list is not detailed on the page. Based on customer reviews the binoculars come with a hard carry case and a neck strap as standard contact the retailer to confirm the exact contents before ordering.
Use a soft lens brush or blower to remove loose dust before wiping to avoid scratching the coatings. A clean microfibre cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning fluid should then be used in gentle circular motions never use paper towels or household cloths on coated optics.
Hawke provides a lifetime manufacturer warranty on the Frontier ED X range. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and is subject to the binoculars being used and maintained correctly so keeping them in the supplied case and avoiding physical damage is important.
