KOWA products represent the premium category in the world of binoculars. Accordingly, the manufacturer has optimised the new XD series for users who demand a premium instrument even for everyday use.
The Kowa Genesis XD 8x33 binoculars stand out with their high-quality optics, ultra-lightweight yet robust construction, exceptionally close minimum focus distance (1.5 metres), and a field of view increased by 20% compared to previous models. Nitrogen-filled housing provides resistance to rain, snow and atmospheric moisture.
New solutions for outstanding image quality
Several factors contribute to the premium image quality of the Kowa Genesis XD 8x33 binoculars. The manufacturer’s proprietary Prominar XD lens elements provide an exceptional reduction in chromatic aberration and ensure very high image contrast across the entire field of view.
Light transmission of 99% or more is guaranteed by the C3 coating applied to the binoculars’ roof prisms. This coating helps deliver a brighter, sharper image than competing models, while also ensuring accurate colour reproduction. Multilayered optical coatings applied to every lens and glass element serve the same purpose.
The optical advancements also provide the binoculars with a uniquely close minimum focus distance of just 1.5 metres – allowing you to observe subjects at extremely close range with 8x magnification, for a macro-like viewing experience. Ideal for close observation of plants and insects.
Compact, durable, waterproof
The Kowa Genesis XD 8x33 binoculars are made from a special magnesium alloy, making them lightweight yet robust and impact-resistant. The nitrogen-filled housing prevents moisture from entering the instrument even in the harshest conditions, including heavy rain, snowfall and fog. However, the binoculars are not suitable for underwater use.
