Oberwerk 10x50mm Wide-angle Waterproof Binocular
The Oberwerk
10x50WA is
our most
compact porro-prism
binocular.
We were first
introduced
to the 10x50WA
when the
senior optical
engineer
at the factory
brought it
to us in
a bucket
of water!
Now this
is not a
recommended
way to store
your binocular-
but it's
nice to know
that you
don't have
to worry
about protecting
it from the
elements.
This is one
of the only
water-proof
binoculars
available
that uses
a convenient
center focus,
which is
made possible
by the use
of super-stiff
ceramic ocular
bridges.
The ceramic
bridges keep
the oculars
in perfect
alignment,
in order
to maintain
a waterproof
seal. It's
ideal for
all kinds
of outdoor
activies
such as sports,
hunting,
nautical
usage, wildlife
observation-
and it's
small enough
not to get
in the way.
Because the
10x50WA focuses
to within
just 15 feet,
it's great
for birdwatching
as well.
Includes
the finest
BAK4 prisms,
and is fully
multi-coated
with high-quality
broadband
multi-coating..
The bright,
wide 6.5° field
of view also
makes these
ideal for
binocular
astronomy.
At a relatively
low 10x power,
they offer
a steady
view even
when hand-holding.
The high
degree of
eye relief
and fold-down
eyecups makes
this model
a great choice
for those
that wear
eyeglasses.
Heavily rubber-armored
metal body,
with brass
1/4-20 tripod
adapter threading.
Also includes
right ocular
diopter adjustment,
Fujinon-style
soft rubber
ocular cover,
attached
soft rubber
objective
covers, rugged
nylon case,
and strap.
