Steiner, the world leader in marine optics, is pleased to announce the expansion of the Navigator binocular line with the addition of the 7×50 Navigator. Previously available in a compact 7×30 model, the new 7×50 is loaded with all the great features of the Navigator line, including the brilliant anti-haze optics for the greatest contrast during the daytime and low-light situations.

“The Navigator series is the great choice for boaters, sailors and anglers who rely on their optics for recreation, navigation and safety,” stated Rob Siemers, general manager. “They offer the optical quality and durable construction that consumers expect from Steiner, but their affordable price makes them a great value.”

The 7×50 Navigator features offer Sports Auto-Focus for instant, sharp viewing in any situation, without the need to continually refocus on subjects at various distances. Once the binoculars are focused for your eyes, everything from 50 feet to infinity will be in clear and sharp. Also new for 2012 is the 7×50 Navigator C with its integrated electronically illuminated HD compass. Both models feature a tough Makrolon® polycarbonate body and durable construction making them the perfect companion for any coastal cruiser or open-water sport fisherman.

The 7×50 Navigator is fogproof, shockproof and waterproof down to two meters. The wide field-of-view (370 feet at 1,000 yards) and bright clear images from edge-to-edge make the 7×50 a great addition to the Navigator line.

This new marine binocular is available now at retailers nationwide. Suggested retail price for the 7×50 Navigator is $399, and the 7×50 Navigator C (compass) is $549. Both come with the Steiner 10-Year Limited Warranty.
