Features

• 

  All lenses and prisms of the SVⅡ/SV and YF series are fully multi-coated. Even though costs were reduced through simultaneous product development and the implementation of an objective focus mechanism (SVⅡ 32/42), the superior optical performance was maintained without sacrificing critical features like being waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas.

• 

  

  Kowa's “KR Coating” is applied to the eyepiece and objective lenses. Due to the coating's dirt-resistant properties, these binoculars are easy to maintain.

  The Kowa SVⅡ Series binoculars have been built with the more demanding user in mind, with each model boasting a set of features to match. Firstly, they are wrapped in extra thick rubber armour, designed to appropriately protect the internal optics from casual knocks and scrapes. Next, a new protective measure: Kowa engineers have proportionately increased the size of the objective lens’ outer armour when compared to other models of this type. This innovative measure helps to act as a buffer, providing an extra layer of protection for the fragile internal lenses.

• 

  At just 565g and measuring 13.8cm (L) × 12.4cm (W) × 5cm (H), the Kowa SVⅡ 32 Series binoculars are one of the most lightweight and compact pairs of binoculars in their class. In order to achieve this weight without having to forego any level of quality, Kowa engineers designed the binocular bodies using specialist weight saving composites. These lightweight and compact credentials make the binoculars very portable and feel easy to hold in the hand, even during long use.

• 

  The housing is waterproof and filled with nitrogen gas which prevents internal fogging.
