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.
