More about the series BD...

KOWA BD XD PROMINAR

For the first time, KOWA is now also using lenses in the BD XD binocular series.

In addition to the excellent performance expected of premium binoculars, this model impresses with its almost perfect combination of practicality and design.

The concept behind the KOWA BD XD PROMINAR binocular series is very simple:

Outstanding optical quality in a compact, durable housing. These binoculars offer excellent optical performance with particularly bright and clear images, high resolution and outstanding contrast. They are ergonomically designed and perfectly suited to a wide range of observation requirements. These models therefore meet the requirements of beginners and experienced observers who want the most lifelike images possible. The lightweight and compact housing allows for long periods of fatigue-free observation.

Whether you are a beginner or a professional user, these binoculars will be your perfect companion.

Technical highlights of the BD XD series:

  • 2 XD lenses and phase-coated prisms ensure a bright, high-contrast image and minimise annoying colour fringing (chromatic aberration).
  • Compact and lightweight binocular series thanks to housing made of magnesium alloy (BD42 XD), aluminium alloy (BD32 XD) or composite materials (polycarbonate BD56 XD)
  • Waterproof and fog-proof thanks to nitrogen filling
  • Short close-up range from 1.5 metres (BD32 XD and BD42 XD)
  • Pleasantly large field of view, up to 131 metres (depending on model)
