Description

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 giving you a flat field of view.  We included extra-Low Dispersion Glass resulting 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.

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

    Joe V –

    I outfit for a living, and most of the animals we harvest are during low light times of the day. The Cronus allows so much light in, it has made spotting and assessing the game easier and faster. These are the clearest binos I have owned and the 8×42 size are convenient and light to carry for long walks through the field

    PC pro –

    I took up birding 4 years ago and have been through as many binoculars. I started with pair of Celestrons moved on to the Carson’s. After a couple of years I went to what I thought was a great bino in the Vortex Viper, and still use on occasion. I read a review on the Athlon Cronus 8.5’s and had to try them. The .5 make a difference and the quality impresses me. I like the large focus adjustment and feel of the binos as well as the ease of use of the diopter adjustment.
    I was in the field today with other birders and compared the weight with a Leica and Nikon Monarch bino and noticed how much lighter my Cronus felt.
    I purchased a pair of Zeiss Victory HT, 8X42 binos a few months ago, but will be selling them and make the Cronus my main gun for birding, good for the woods and the shores with my Vortex Vipers a standby.
    My only complaint is that the central hinge seems to give a little more than it should, but does not impact performance.
