Nikon Sport Optics

The guiding principle behind every Nikon product has always been to engineer it from the inside out. By creating an optical system specific to the function of each product, Nikon can better match the product attributes specifically to the needs of the user. The result is what we call our “Optics First Design Principle,” and it applies to every optic Nikon makes.

As one of the few makers of optical glass in the world, Nikon has a unique advantage of having the knowledge and experience to specify and select the exact type of glass, lens geometry and multicoatings needed to optimize the performance of any given optic. This level of performance can be seen and appreciated when putting any Nikon optic to the test in real world conditions.

Workhorse of
American Sportsmen.

Nikon’s venerable PROSTAFF line is considered the performance benchmark for Nikon’s lineup of rugged optics for hunting and other outdoor passions. A common denominator throughout the line is durability in tough outdoor conditions. All models integrate multicoated or fully multicoated optics and prisms, smooth focusing adjustment and other user-friendly and performance features that are demonstrable throughout the PROSTAFF family.

Survival of the Fittest

Nikon builds its binoculars to last a lifetime, and vigorously tests them to assure they live up to the tests of nature and the test of time, in the field. Each of the PROSTAFF and MONARCH binocular designs is subject to not only severe impact testing, but also harsh vibration testing to assure survivability in the toughest real world conditions.

Thermal Shock Test

Internal fogging caused by extreme temperature fluctuations and thermal shock can render a binocular useless when you need it most. Robust construction and harsh testing procedures result in total confidence in your Nikon binocular.

Waterproof/Fogproof Integrity Test

All binoculars in the Nikon PROSTAFF and MONARCH families are built for extreme outdoor use and are O-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged for total waterproof and fogproof performance in the toughest conditions.
