KOWA products represent the premium category in the world of binoculars. Accordingly, the new XD series is optimized for those who want a premium instrument for everyday use.
The Kowa Genesis XD 8.5x44 telescope stands out from the field with its high-quality optics, rugged construction, small close focus (1.7 meters) and 20% larger field of view than previous models. Its interior is filled with nitrogen gas, making it resistant to rain, snow and atmospheric humidity.
New solutions for high image quality
A number of factors are "responsible" for premium imaging in the Kowa Genesis XD 8.5x44 binoculars. The manufacturer's proprietary Prominar XD lens elementscater for extreme reduction of chromatic aberration and ensure very high image contrast across the entire field of view.
A light recovery of 99% or above is guaranteed by the C3 coating applied to the telescope's roof prisms. Thanks to this coating, the binoculars produce a brighter and sharper image than its competitors, and even ensure accurate colour reproduction. The same purpose is served by the multi-layer optical coatings applied to all lenses and all glass.
Also thanks to optical advances, the binoculars have a close-focus of just 1.7 metres - you can observe objects as close as this at 8.5x magnification, "macro" style. Also ideal for close-up observation of plants and insects.
Compact, robust, waterproof
The Kowa Genesis XD 8.5x44 Binoculars are made of special magnesium alloy, which is why they are lightweight but rugged and impact resistant. Its interior is filled with nitrogen gas, which prevents moisture from entering the instrument even in the most extreme conditions (heavy rain, snowfall, fog). However, the binoculars are not suitable for underwater use.
