Plastimo Topomarine 7 x 50 Water-Repellent Marine Binoculars with Neck Strap RWB8246

Plastimo Topomarine 7 x 50 Water-Repellent Marine Binoculars with Neck Strap

These Plastimo Topomarine 7 x 50 marine binoculars combine a metal body with impact-resistant armour and a non-slip grip. They offer seven-times magnification through 50mm multi-coated lenses, with a BAK-7 standard prism and central focusing. The lens coatings are specified to improve colour, brightness and contrast, while the fold-down eye cups let you arrange the eyepieces for comfortable viewing. This is the water-repellent Topomarine model: the supplier explicitly states that it is not waterproof. At a stated 850g and 170mm high, it is a full-size binocular supplied with a neck strap, flexible case and cleaning cloth.

Choosing and using this product

Choose this model when its water-repellent specification suits the conditions in which you plan to use and store your binoculars. Keep the difference between water repellency and waterproofing in mind when equipping an exposed helm or planning activities where equipment may become heavily wet. The included strap is useful for keeping the binoculars close while moving between observation points, and the flexible case provides a place to store them when they are not in use. Adjust the binoculars and focus on a distant object before you need a quick view of a landmark, another vessel or the shoreline. Use the supplied cleaning cloth with appropriate care for optical surfaces, removing loose grit before wiping. The supplier lists a field of view of 122 metres but does not specify the reference distance, so compare that figure carefully with other products. A floating neck-strap sleeve is listed separately in the Topomarine range; it is not included with these binoculars. Check the overall size and carrying weight against the space available aboard and how long you expect to hold the binoculars during observation.
