For water-sports and professional seafaring, these classic binoculars are still the obvious choice. The 7x50 GA T* Marine nautical binoculars satisfy all requirements in terms of robustness, stability and simple, single-handed operation while providing you with a stable image, however unsteady the ground under your feet may be. The brightness of the binoculars also makes them appealing to hunters.
Here you find the top features of the Marine binocular.
A 7x magnification ensures an extremely stable image, even on a rolling ocean. The large eye relief of over 7 mm makes for comfortable observation, without losing sight of the target due to a strong swell. A specialist classic with a top notch reputation.
The short, robust, classic Porro design gives these binoculars a low centre of gravity for high stability in a strong swell. This means you can set them down securely and pick them up again easily, even with gloves or wet hands.
The reason for the bright, clear images lies in the classic optical concept of these standard maritime binoculars. A large eye relief of 7.1 mm, the highly transparent Porro prisms and the modern Carl Zeiss T* coating provide you with bright, high-contrast images, even on the water, where natural contrasts tend to disappear.
The image sharpness can be adjusted separately for the left and right eyes. Once focussed on the middle distance, you can look further afield without having to refocus. The 7x50 focussing wheel delivers the images you want without lengthy focussing.
