The Nikon 8x42 Monarch 5 binocular has been and will continue to be our best-selling birding binocular! And what is good for birding is good for travel, concerts, whale watching and just about any other use!

Waterproof, fogproof, lightweight and rugged; the Nikon Monarch has remarkably good balance and feel in the hand. This latest version has been upgraded to include ED (Extra Low Dispersion) glass for enhanced color rendition. Also includes improved twist-down eye cups, objective lens covers and neck strap along with fully multicoated lenses and phase-coated prisms that provide clear, bright images. Good eye relief, attached front lens caps, and twist-down eyecups are comfortable for eyeglass wearers. Includes case, strap and one-piece rainguard.
