KOWA products represent the premium category in the world of binoculars. Accordingly, the new XD series has been optimised for those who want a premium instrument for everyday use.
The Kowa BD II 6.5x32 XD stands out from the field with its high-quality optics, ultra-lightweight yet rugged construction, extremely small close focus (1.3 meters!) and 46.7% increased field of view compared to the 8x32 model. 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 BD II 6.5x32 XD binoculars. The manufacturer's proprietary XD lens elements cater 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 uniquely small close-up focus of just 1.3 metres - you can observe objects as close as this at 8x magnification, "macro" style. Also ideal for close observation of plants and insects.
Compact, robust, waterproof
The interior of the Kowa BD II 6.5x32 XD binoculars 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.
