Gerber Nautica Silver 8×42 Binoculars
The Gerber Nautica Silver 8×42 binoculars combine rugged durability with crisp optics, making them ideal for boating, bird‑watching, sports, and safari adventures. With a moderate 8× magnification and 42 mm objective lenses, they deliver steady, bright views without being too heavy or hard to stabilise. Their BaK‑4 prism design and FBMC (fully broadband multi-coated) lenses ensure sharp, high‑contrast images even in challenging light.
These binoculars are built to endure the elements. They are waterproof (rated up to 1.5 m for 5 minutes) and nitrogen‑purged to prevent fogging in humid or cold conditions. The durable rubber housing protects against shocks and offers a secure grip, while twist‑up eyecups allow custom eye relief — up to 17 mm — for comfortable viewing with or without glasses. A centre-focus wheel offers quick and precise focus adjustments, and there’s a dioptre ring on the right eyepiece for fine-tuning.
Optimised for portability, the Gerber Nautica Silver 8×42 measures 147 × 135 × 54 mm and weighs approximately 720 g, making them easy to carry on water or land. The 7.5° field of view (~131 m at 1,000 m) lets you scan wide areas quickly and naturally. The minimum focus of just 2 m enables you to pick out close subjects with clarity.
