The flagship from Kowa, Genesis/XD is a series without chromatic aberration, and they are incorporated with Kowa “PROMINAR” lenses. To attain the highest pinnacle of binocular performance, a total of 4 XD lenses (2sets of 2 lenses) are utilized in the objective end of the binoculars. This significantly reduces chromatic aberration and provides high contrast in the field of view.

Schmidt Prism system of Genesis/XD delivers a wide field of view and edge to edge sharpness with minimal loss of light. This high refractive roof prism (BaK4 + SK15) offers near total reflectance and when combined with Kowa´s proprietary C3 coating, delivers the clearest and sharpest image.

C3 Multi-coatings provide precise color definition and deliver optimal images. The new wide angle eyepiece design of the Genesis/XD33 has an increased field of view, and has a locking mechanism for the diopter adjustment.

Genesis/XD are of course waterproof and filled with dry Nitrogen gas.

These Kowa binoculars are really a technical tour de force. These binoculars are equipped with Prominar XD 4-lenses system which prevents chromatic aberration. These Kowa binoculars come with Schmidt / Pechan prisms with a partial phase coating and at the other side the C3 coating.

Technology

Because the roof prisms are treated with phase coatings and C3 coatings, the reflective power is increased to such an extent that a light transmission of more than 99% is achieved. This results in an incredibly clear and sharp image. The Kowa Repelling technology prevents grease, liquid and dirt from accumulating on the surface, making cleaning easier. This KR technology also reduces the risk of scratches on the vulnerable lens surface, because less pressure needs to be applied to remove dirt. The Kowa Binoculars Genesis Prominar is completely waterproof and fully filled with nitrogen gas. This makes it possible for these roof prism binoculars to withstand all temperature fluctuations without the lenses fogging up on the inside.

Each Genesis Prominar model is equipped with Kowa's durable, legendary XD lenses. This high resolution ED glass contains large amounts of the mineral fluorite crystal, the best material available today for light transmission. Kowa's lens coating technology has been developed over decades, further improving the light transmission properties of all lenses and Kowa's unique KR coating repels dirt and moisture. Enjoy sharp images with natural colours, high contrast and incredible detail, from sunrise to sunset.

Focusing

Focusing is done with the ultra-sensitive focusing wheel which is easily accessible. Below the right ocular is a dioptric adjustment ring with a special groove to provide extra grip during use. This allows the binoculars to be precisely focused and adjusted for the individual user to provide a clear and sharp image. The ultra-sensitive focusing wheel allows for very accurate focusing.
