The OceanPro utilizes precision ground lenses with multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings to deliver superior brightness, enhanced resolution and critical high-contrast for low light and bad weather conditions. The large, 50mm objective lenses provide a 7.1mm exit pupil for maximum light gathering, while a diopter adjustment and large central focus knob make focus easy to achieve and maintain.
The Nikon 7x50 OceanPro incorporates an illuminated compass for easy direction finding. It has a 7.2-degree real angle of view, which equates to a 50-degree apparent angle--true wide-angle performance. The field of view is 378 feet at 1,000 yards (38 feet at 100 yards). They utilize fold-down rubber eyecups that protect the eyes from bumps in rough water conditions and provide 22.7mm of eye relief to accommodate eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers alike.
Like all Nikon Binoculars, the 7x50 OceanPro carries Nikon's 25-year limited warranty.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Ocean Pro 7x50 Binocular:
The Nikon 7x50 Ocean Pro w/compass are certainly the best pair of binoculars I have used on the water. I have “discount” binoculars lying around to grab in a hurry while under way, and the quality of the Nikon optics is noticeably superior. I cannot imagine that a pair costing two or three times more could be that much better. The construction seems fine, but I have not given the Nikon any hard use yet. All the adjustments work and operate smoothly. The built-in compass, of course, is a huge convenience for making navigational sightings. The Nikon also came with a neck strap that has bright yellow flotational padding, and a very secure case. My only gripe is that, while the objective lens covers remain attached to the unit even when they are removed from the lens, the smaller ocular lens covers are not attached, and have to be put down somewhere or in a pocket when removed.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Ocean Pro 7x50 Binocular:
I've been useing these as my primary Binoculars aboard our trawler here in Alaska for the past couple of years with absolute satisfaction. I prefer these 99% of the time except when I need more stability such as reading the name of another boat in rough conditions.
