Since the invention of the first spotting scope in the 1950s, Japanese optics manufacturer KOWA has continued to innovate in the world of optical design and technology.

This heritage continues today with the reinvention of the popular Kowa BD binocular series. Introducing the BDII-XD. A range of enhanced optics at the forefront of imaging excellence using Kowa's premium XD lenses.

The binoculars that benefit from Kowa's decades of optical advancements and the BDII-XD philosophy are straightforward:

- Affordable and uncompromising.

A binocular that can be appreciated by many, while offering exceptional image resolution, robust build quality, superior engineering and comfortable operation.

- An ED lens that's not so ordinary

As with many binocular brands, the BDII-XD series uses ED glass (extra-low dispersion) to improve optical performance.

Each BDII-XD model is fitted with environmentally friendly XD objectives. This high-resolution ED glass contains large amounts of mineral fluorite crystal - the best material available to date for light transmission, thus ensuring a sharp, accurate image and chromatic aberration that is practically eliminated (color fringing).

The result: simply magnificent views of nature.

Kowa's lens coating technology, developed over decades, further improves the light transmission properties of all lenses and the unique KR coating repels dirt and liquids.

Enjoy sharp images with natural colors, high contrast and incredible detail, from dawn to dusk.

- Enhanced durability

Each model in the BDII-XD range benefits from a magnesium alloy chassis. A sophisticated molding process reproduces the feel and strength of metal without the weight.

The lightweight yet sturdy structure can withstand the harshest conditions and provides a sense of security and longevity.

The BDII-XD is built to last, use it with complete peace of mind.

A reinforced "tactile" rubber coating surrounds the sturdy magnesium alloy body, providing not only a secure and comfortable grip but also increasing the level of durability.

Each BDII-XD is fully waterproof, filled with dry nitrogen to prevent the lenses from fogging. The Kowa KR coating protects against dirt and any other buildup of foreign residue that may adhere to the lenses during use.

- Expand your horizons
One of the most notable optical features of the BDII-XD series is its wide field of view, offering exceptional wide-angle performance.

Viewing is very pleasing to the eye, making long periods of field use enjoyable and comfortable.

The field of view is the area you can see through your binoculars. It is generally measured in m/1 000 m or in degrees.

Example :
At a distance of 1000 m, the BDII32-6.5XD model can display an incredible image width of 175 m.
Find a subject faster with a wider field of view and crystalline clarity.
Designed for your comfort

The BDII-XD series is designed to enhance your viewing experience.

A sleek, ergonomic design with a specially selected reinforced "tactile" rubber coating ensures easy and comfortable use - enhancing every moment of use.

Seamless operation.

A smooth, responsive focus knob offers cutting-edge precision and soft-rotating twist-up eyecups ensure optimal vision for both eyeglass wearers and non-wearers.

Adjust your focus to suit your needs with an easy-to-use diopter adjustment system.

The ergonomic magnesium body of the BDII-XD series is as impressive as the optics it protects, each curve intended to make viewing relaxing and fatigue-free.

Night Sky

Thanks to their wide angle, all models in the BDII-XD range are perfect for astronomy enthusiasts and those who simply want to enjoy a breathtaking view of the night sky.

With its wide field of view and clarity the BDII-XD series will take you on an immersive journey through the stars.

These lightweight, ergonomic binoculars are an ideal choice.

Close-focus performance

All models in the BDII-XD range benefit from excellent close-focus performance. The 42 mm series has a short focus of 1.8 m while the 32 mm models can achieve an incredibly close focusing distance of just 1.3 m.
