Binoculars

Good navy binoculars or monoculars on board must be able to withstand a lot: Moisture, shocks, temperature fluctuations and other stresses on optics and mechanics. A marine glass should fit well in the hand, have excellent optics in poor visibility conditions and preferably be equipped with an integrated bearing compass. Compass binoculars meet the highest requirements. For example, the Compass Ocean 7 x 50 is designed for the toughest conditions: filled with nitrogen, perfectly sealed, rubber armoured and the bearing compass is illuminated. Binoculars from Compass have proven themselves in practice for many years and offer strong performance at an affordable price. Steiner is another top brand known for the quality of its all-weather binoculars. Image-stabilizing binoculars from Canon remain sharp and shake-free at the touch of a button. Minox binoculars have become even more functional and innovative: digital compass, integrated barometer and stopwatch included. Night vision devices from Bushnell, for example, have become very affordable and can contribute to the safety of approaches and approaches at night thanks to their residual light amplification.

Purchase criteria for water sports

A high performance binocular for water sports should meet various requirements. For many buyers, it is important that it works without restrictions at temperatures between -5°C and 60°C. Water sports enthusiasts also look for binoculars for rough seas. Here it is important to use binoculars that fit securely in the hand thanks to their non-slip, solid rubber armouring. Special binoculars such as marine binoculars or binoculars for water sports must also be fully waterproof and have a sturdy binocular housing. An attached floating belt keeps them above the water surface when they fall into the water.
