Nikon Introduces The New Drury Outdoors Dream Season Monarch Binocular

Since its inception, the Nikon Monarch ATB™ (All Terrain Binocular) line has offered the hunter exceptional optics, incredible ruggedness and extraordinary value. For 2006, Nikon has introduced a new element to the extremely popular Monarch line, the Dream Season series 36mm and 56mm Monarch ATB Binoculars.

Mark and Terry Drury, members of Nikon's exclusive Field Recon Team, and co-hosts of Drury Outdoors Dream Season and Biologic Wildlife Obsession, have established partnerships with Nikon and its hunting optics, as well as with Mossy Oak. The new Dream Season ATB binoculars-camouflaged in Mossy Oak Obsession, will help complete the Dream Season hunting arsenal and broaden the camouflage coverage of the Nikon binocular line.

"Mark and I are huge fans of Nikon gear so getting the chance to work together on a binocular with our Dream Season logo was huge. Each of the Dream Season Monarch binoculars offers features that we think are crucial to successful hunting," said Terry Drury.

"Things like sliding eye-cups that work equally well for hunters with glasses or without, and of course the Mossy Oak camo. We wanted the binoculars to match the rest of our gear so we asked that they be decked out in Mossy Oak. A first for Nikon," said Mark Drury.

As with the entire Nikon Monarch family, the new Dream Season Monarch ATB line is guaranteed waterproof and fogproof, and features fully multicoated lenses for maximum light transmission and image quality. The new Monarchs incorporate Nikon's exclusive Eco-Glass (made without the use of arsenic or lead) for all lens and prism elements. Prisms feature phase-correction coatings and high reflection mirror coatings for superior sharpness and resolution. Ergonomic styling, mated with a rubber armored exterior, provides added shock resistance and a firm grip, wet or dry.

Large field of view, long eye relief, exceptional clarity and brightness, and a smaller, lightweight size make the Monarch line the perfect hunting binocular. The 36mm has a 367-foot field-of-view in the 8x and 314-foot in the 10x, weighs-in under 20 ounces and measures 5.1 x 4.9 inches. The 8.5x, 10x, and 12x56 offer exceptional exit pupil size, the largest in Nikon's binocular line, and amazing relative brightness. The 8.5x has a 6.6mm exit pupil and 43.6 relative brightness, the 10x56 has a 5.6 exit pupil with 31.4 relative brightness, and the 12x56 a 4.7mm exit pupil with 22.1 in relative brightness. The 56mm measures 7.8 x 5.7 inches.

The 36mm Dream Season Monarch is priced at $269.95 for the 8x36, and $289.95 for the 10x36. The 56mm Dream Season Monarch is priced at $399.95 for the 8.5x56, $419.95 for the 10x56, and $449.95 for the 12x56. Like all Nikon binoculars, the Dream Season Monarch line is covered by Nikon's 25-year limited warranty and the exclusive No-Fault Repair/Replacement policy.
