The next generation of Monarch.

The name Monarch has always been synonymous with optical excellence. Compact Monarch M7 8x42 binoculars take that performance to a new level, pushing resolution, brightness and field of view even further. Large 42mm objectives with 8x magnification deliver the widest view in the series. An incredible Nikon optical system with ED glass and multilayer lens and prism coatings produces outstanding low-light capabilities, lifelike colors and extreme resolution at any distance. Long eye relief with turn-and-slide eyecups for easy adjustments, a locking diopter, a new oil and water repellent lens coating plus a waterproof, fogproof rubber-armored design and more make this next generation worthy of the Monarch name.
