Hawke Frontier ED X 10x42 Binoculars Grey

Hawke Frontier ED X 10x42 Binoculars Grey Summary

The Hawke Frontier ED X 10x42 Binoculars Grey is a full-size 10x42 roof prism binocular within Hawke’s Frontier ED X range, combining higher magnification with larger objective lenses for improved reach and light transmission. It uses H7 optics with extra-low dispersion glass to maintain colour accuracy and reduce chromatic aberration. The 10x magnification supports detailed observation at distance, with a 112m field of view at 1000m.

The 42mm objective lenses maintain brightness in lower light conditions, supported by dielectric coated BAK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics. A magnesium alloy chassis keeps weight to 725g while maintaining structural rigidity. Close focus down to 2.5m allows observation of nearer subjects, while nitrogen purging prevents internal fogging in changing weather.

Hawke Frontier ED X 10x42 Binoculars Grey In More Detail

H7 Optical System

The H7 optical system maintains image resolution and colour consistency across the frame. Phase corrected roof prisms support contrast and fine detail when viewing distant subjects.

ED Glass

Extra-low dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberration, controlling colour fringing and maintaining edge definition in high contrast conditions.

Dielectric Prism Coatings

Dielectric mirror coatings increase light reflectivity within the prism system. This supports brightness and contrast, particularly in reduced light.

Lens Coatings

Fully multi-coated optics reduce internal reflections and maintain transmission across a wide wavelength range. The water repellent coating helps keep external lens surfaces clear in wet conditions.

Close Focus

A minimum focus distance of 2.5m supports observation of subjects at shorter distances while maintaining smooth focus control.

Chassis Construction

The magnesium alloy body provides a rigid structure while maintaining a weight of 725g. The size and balance support stable handheld use during extended observation.

Eye Cups

Twist-up eye cups include position stops and are replaceable. The 15mm eye relief provides a usable field of view for most users.

Weather Protection

The binoculars are nitrogen purged to prevent internal condensation and are sealed to maintain waterproof performance during outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these suitable for low light observation?

The 42mm objective lenses and dielectric prism coatings maintain light transmission for use at dawn and dusk.

Do they work with glasses?

The 15mm eye relief supports a usable field of view for many glasses wearers.

Can these be mounted on a tripod?

A standard ¼”-20 thread allows use with a compatible binocular tripod adapter.

What is the close focus distance?

They focus down to 2.5m.

Are they waterproof?

The sealed and nitrogen purged construction prevents water ingress and internal fogging.

What prism system is used?

They use BAK-4 roof prisms with phase correction and dielectric coatings.

Are they suitable for long-distance viewing?

The 10x magnification provides increased detail when observing distant subjects.
