Steiner Navigator 7×50 Open Hinge Design (non-compass)

Steiner Navigator 7×50 Open-Hinge Binoculars (Non-Compass)

🌊 Marine-Grade Clarity • Open-Bridge Handling • Pure Optical Performance

For boaters and coastal explorers who want maximum optical performance without the added weight or complexity of a compass, the Steiner Navigator 7×50 Open-Hinge Binoculars deliver exactly that. Designed by Steiner Optik for life on the water, this non-compass model focuses on what matters most at sea: brightness, stability, durability, and effortless handling.

With a modern open-bridge design, legendary Steiner optics, and a build made to withstand spray, impact, and constant motion, these binoculars are a dependable companion for serious marine use.

Why the Navigator 7×50 Open-Hinge Is a Standout

🔭 The Marine Gold Standard: 7×50 Optics

• 7× magnification delivers a naturally stable image—critical on moving decks and in choppy conditions

• Large 50 mm objective lenses maximise light intake, producing bright, high-contrast views

• 7.1 mm exit pupil closely matches the human eye in low light, making these binoculars exceptional at dawn, dusk, and under overcast skies

This is the classic marine optical formula—trusted for decades because it works.

Open-Hinge (Open-Bridge) Design — Secure, Balanced, Comfortable

The open-hinge design isn’t just about looks—it’s about control:

• Allows a full wrap-around grip, even with wet hands or gloves

• Improves balance and reduces fatigue during long observation periods

• Easier one-handed handling when the other hand is on the helm or rail

On deck, ergonomics matter—and this design delivers confidence with every lift.

Steiner Auto-Focus — Set It Once, Stay Sharp

Steiner’s Auto-Focus system is ideal for marine environments:

• Individually focus each eyepiece once

• Enjoy continuous sharpness from approx. 20 m to infinity

• No centre wheel to adjust while scanning the horizon

This means faster target acquisition, less distraction, and more situational awareness when it counts.

Built for Salt, Spray & Impact

• Makrolon® polycarbonate housing — lightweight, corrosion-proof, and incredibly tough

• Textured rubber armouring — secure, non-slip grip and shock absorption

• Waterproof to 5 metres and nitrogen-filled — completely fog-proof, inside and out

• Designed to withstand knocks, vibration, and harsh marine use

These binoculars are engineered to live onboard—not be protected from it.

Optical Clarity You Can Trust

• Fully multi-coated lenses enhance brightness, contrast, and colour accuracy

• Excellent edge-to-edge sharpness for wide-area scanning

• Natural depth perception for judging distances between vessels, markers, and land features

Whether you’re picking out channel markers, spotting other craft, or watching wildlife, the view remains calm, clear, and fatigue-free.
