The 8.5x43 Epoch Binocular from Brunton is a lightweight yet durable multi-purpose binocular designed for a wide range of outdoor glassing. Fully multicoated optics and phase-corrected roof prisms transmit bright images that are as rich in detail as they are in contrast. This model of the Epoch series is configured with 8.5x magnification, ideal for mid-range applications. An impressive 6 ft minimum focusing distance also allows you to see close objects in great detail, making the Epoch binocular a great optic for bird watching. A wide viewing angle, rubber-armored magnesium housing, and weatherproof construction make the Epoch a full-featured binocular ready for years of adventures.
