Hawke Endurance ED 8×32

Description

Hawke Endurance ED 8×32 Product description

• Extra-Low Dispersion Glass with Phase Corrected BAK-4 Roof Prisms: The Endurance ED uses Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass in the lens elements to reduce chromatic aberration and colour fringing — the coloured edges that appear on high-contrast subjects in lower-specification optics. The BAK-4 roof prisms are phase corrected, maintaining resolution and contrast across the full aperture, and the fully multi-coated lenses provide high light transmission and a clear, detailed image throughout the magnification range.
• Exceptionally Close Focus at 1.2 Metres: The minimum focus distance of 1.2 metres is one of the closest available in any 8×32 binocular and significantly extends the usability of the optic to very close-range subjects — insects, fungi, flora, and close-perched birds — without requiring repositioning. This is particularly relevant for nature observation, birding, and any application where close-range subject detail is as important as distance performance.
• Broad Field of View with 62° Apparent Field: The field of view of 135 metres at 1,000 metres and apparent field of view of 62° provide a wide, comfortable sight picture for landscape scanning, wildlife observation, and fast target acquisition. The generous field supports extended glassing sessions and is particularly useful in birding situations where fast panning and target acquisition are required.
• Compact and Practical 8×32 Format: The 8× magnification with a 32mm objective lens provides a practical balance of image scale and compactness — at 635 g and 103–121 mm wide × 138 mm high, the binocular is manageable for extended carry while delivering the light-gathering and field-of-view characteristics of a full-specification H5 optical system.
• Waterproof and Fogproof with Twist-Up Eyecups and Stay-On Lens Covers: The body is nitrogen purged, waterproof, and fogproof, with a high-grip rubber-coated exterior for secure handling in wet conditions. The twist-up eyecups with position stops accommodate both bare-eyed and eyeglass-wearing users at 17mm of eye relief. Stay-on lens covers remain attached during use. A built-in ¼”-20 UNC tripod mounting thread enables tripod use for extended stationary observation.

About the Endurance ED Binocular Series

The Endurance ED series is Hawke’s mid-tier binocular range, built on the H5 optical system and positioned between the entry-level Nature-Trek and Vantage series and the flagship Frontier ED X above it. The series is designed for hunters, birders, and nature observers who want Extra-Low Dispersion glass and phase-corrected prisms in a practical, field-ready package at an accessible price point.

All Endurance ED models feature ED glass, phase corrected BAK-4 roof prisms, fully multi-coated lenses, nitrogen purging, waterproof and fogproof sealing, twist-up eyecups with position stops, stay-on lens covers, and a built-in ¼”-20 UNC tripod mounting thread. The series spans a broad range of configurations — 8×32, 10×32, 8×42, 10×42, 10×50, and 12×50 — covering the full range of typical hunting, birding, and nature observation requirements. The key distinction from the Frontier ED X is the use of silver mirror prism coatings rather than the dielectric mirror coatings of the H7 system, with a corresponding difference in light transmission through the prism stage.

About the Model (Hawke Endurance ED 8×32 — Green)

The Hawke Endurance ED 8×32 is a binocular designed for birders, hunters, and nature observers who want ED glass performance and phase-corrected prisms in a compact 8×32 format. The 8× magnification with a 32mm objective lens delivers a field of view of 135 metres at 1,000 metres and an apparent field of view of 62° — matching the field performance of the Frontier ED X 8×32 — in a slightly larger and heavier package at 635 g.

The ED glass lens elements reduce chromatic aberration and colour fringing, while the phase corrected BAK-4 roof prisms and fully multi-coated lenses deliver a clear, well-resolved image across the field. The exit pupil of 4mm provides adequate image brightness in typical outdoor lighting conditions. The minimum focus distance of 1.2 metres is a practical standout specification — enabling close-range nature observation at distances closer than most binoculars in the 8×32 class can achieve.

The body is nitrogen purged, waterproof, and fogproof, with a rubber-coated exterior for grip in wet conditions. The twist-up eyecups with position stops and 17mm of eye relief accommodate both bare-eyed and eyeglass-wearing users. A built-in ¼”-20 UNC tripod mounting thread allows use on a tripod or binocular mount. Stay-on objective lens covers remain attached during use. Dimensions are 103–121 mm wide × 138 mm high.
