Nikon introduces the MONARCH M7 Binoculars
September 22, 2021
TOKYO - Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., (Nikon Vision), a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation (Nikon), is pleased to announce the release of the new MONARCH M7 binocular series. These are the successor models to the MONARCH 7, which are Nikon's representative binoculars that have garnered an excellent reputation around the world.
The MONARCH M7 series binoculars feature a sleek exterior design, and provide a wide apparent field of view (60.3° for 8x42, 62.2° for 10x42, 60.3° for 8x30, 60.7° for 10x30) that offers spectacular viewing. Employing extra-low dispersion (ED) glass corrects chromatic aberration that causes colour fringing, which realises a contrast-rich and high-resolution image.
Multilayer coating is applied to all lenses and prisms. Dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating and phase correction coating are applied to the roof prisms. All of this effectively combines to deliver a bright field of view plus natural colour fidelity. Oil- and water-repellent coating applied to the objective lens and eyepieces allows smudges like fingerprints to be easily wiped off.
Nikon MONARCH M7 binoculars are ideal for bird- and nature-watching, stargazing and a host of other outdoor activities.
