Product details

Kowa's absolute top model in the ultra-compact binocular range features the legendary Kowa XD optics. The compact model from the Genesis Prominar series has a 22 mm objective diameter and is equipped with two high-quality XD lenses from Kowa. This high-resolution ED glass contains large amounts of fluorite crystal, currently the best available material for minimizing chromatic aberration and enhancing contrast, resulting in a stunning view of nature. The Kowa lens coating technology, developed over decades, enhances the light transmission properties of all lenses, and Kowa's unique KR coating repels dirt and moisture. The ergonomic housing design combined with a high-quality armor makes using a Genesis Prominar binocular a pleasure. When you hold a Genesis Prominar binocular in your hands, you will immediately feel and appreciate the high-quality craftsmanship. Every component of the Genesis Prominar series has been carefully designed to provide an ultimate viewing experience. Genesis Prominar binoculars are fully waterproof and nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging. The robust armor makes the Genesis Prominar an extremely durable and reliable binocular that guarantees top performance even in the toughest environments.
