Cronus binoculars are the king of the Athlon Optics line of binoculars. Featuring: ED Lenses, Edge to Edge Sharpness System, ESP, XPL, Phase Coating, Magnesium Alloy Chassis, Advanced Fullymulti-coated Lenses, and Locking Diopter.

Designed for serious glassing, with exceptional edge to edge clarity, sharp detail enhancement, ultra-clear brightness and true color representation. Whether you are on your annual hunt for whitetails on the family farm in Alabama, or filling your tag on an once in a lifetime Montana Big Horn, don’t leave anything to chance. We designed these binoculars with our revolutionary E2ES lens system that gives you a flat field of view. We included ED Glass that results in a clearer and sharper image. Our state of the art ESP (Enhance Spectral Prism) dielectric coating reflects 99% of the light through the prism assembly. We use a Magnesium chassis to reduce weight while keeping the chassis rugged to withstand the scrapes and bumps of constant use.

Features

E2ES System- Edge 2 Edge Sharpness system	E2ES System is a field flattening system that produces sharper, clearer images all the way from one lens edge to the other
ED Glass- High definition glass	ED glass gives you an image with little or no chromatic fringe so the final result brings an ultimate clearest and sharpest image to your eyes
ESP Dielectric Coating- Enhanced Spectral Prism Dielectric Coating	ESP Dielectric Coating is a multi layer prism coating that reflects over 99% of the light to your eyes bringing you a clear, bright image that displays accurate color reproduction.
Lightweight Magnesium Chassis	Magnesium chassis give you the strength of a metal chassis while reducing the weight as much as 35%
XPL Coating- Xtra Protective Layer coating	XPL Coating gives you an extra protection on the exterior lenses from dirt, oil and scratches
Phase Corrected prisms	Phase corrected prisms produce images that have better contrast, a higher resolution and better color reproduction
BaK4 prisms	Bak-4 glass prisms reflect more light to your eyes which will give you brighter and sharper image.
Advanced FMC	Advanced Fully Multi-Coated lenses gives you better light transmission to bring optimum brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum.
Locking Diopter	Locking Diopter keeps the diopter adjustment knob from accidentally moving from the optimal setting
Long Eye Relief	Long eye relief can be particularly important for eyeglass wearers because longer eye relief allows them to still see the entire field of view.
