Here you find the top features of the Conquest binoculars.

High-performance optics

The Conquest models offer brilliant images with great colour fidelity. The use of achromatic lenses means that you can see even the finest contours with ...

Reliable and lightweight

The housing of the Conquest binoculars is hard-wearing and very lightweight, as well as being waterproof and resistant to internal condensation.

Simple to operate

The ergonomic design of the Conquest binoculars includes comfortable, twistable eye cups, which drop securely into their final position.

Satisfying optics

The Conquest models offer brilliant images with great color fidelity. The use of achromatic lenses means that only the tiniest chromatic aberrations (color fringes) can be observed. You can see even the finest of contours in high contrast with pin sharp detail. Every natural object, whether it is a plant or an animal, is brought closer to you in great detail.

Reliable and lightweight

The housing of the Conquest is hard-wearing and very lightweight. It never feels heavy, even on lengthy walks and in the hunting field. The Conquest binoculars are encased in rubber armour, which protects them from knocks and also ensures that they retain their pleasingly firm grip in cold or wet conditions.
The Conquest binoculars are also waterproof and filled with nitrogen. So you can go outside in any weather without your binoculars suffering from internal condensation. They are always reliable and ready for use - in rain, snow or cold weather.

Simple to operate

The ergonomic design of the Conquest binoculars makes them comfortable to hold and use. The twistable eye cups drop securely into the chosen position.
The diopter adjustment is positioned in such a way that it is easy to use yet cannot be moved inadvertently. The focussing mechanism can even be operated wearing gloves.

Low light capability thanks to Carl Zeiss T* multi-layer coating

In twilight conditions or woodland, in the interplay of light and shade, these binoculars do not suffer from any loss of light. The Carl Zeiss T* multi-layer coating ensures high transmission (in other words it lets plenty of light in). This sophisticated lens coating gives you a bright and clear image even in poor light conditions.

You can choose between six Conquest models.

    Previously used to designate Dialyt binoculars with rubber armour

T*
    ZEISS T* multi-layer coating for extremely high transmission and low reflex susceptibility

MC
    ZEISS multi-layer coating (multi coating)

P / P*   
    Phase correction coating on the roof prisms, which provide a higher resolution of the finest detail structures. All ZEISS binoculars with roof prisms use this coating

B
    Previously used to designate binoculars that can be worn by people who wear glasses.
Now all ZEISS binoculars and spotting scope eyepieces are suitable for people who wear glasses, so the "B" designation is no longer used

M
    Riflescope models with ZEISS mounting rail.

iC
    Riflescope with illumination control

ED
    Extra low Dispersion = low chromatic aberrations
