Premium optics with HD concept

Thanks to the high-definition (HD) concept, the Conquest HDX impresses with a particularly well-balanced optical system. With a light transmission of over 90%, the image is always bright, even in low light conditions. The ZEISS T* multi-coating, carefully selected lenses and the phase-corrected roof prism ensure clear and true-to-life images without color fringing or color casts. “The new ZEISS Conquest HDX always provides a clear and sharp image from edge to edge, allowing reliable observation and identification of game,” says Lueken.

Robust design for reliability

The robust mechanical construction and durable, lightweight magnesium housing of the Conquest HDX offer reliable protection in any situation. The full rubber armored exterior reinforces this protection and provides a secure grip, even in humid and rainy conditions. Thanks to the hydrophobic ZEISS LotuTec coating, water rolls off effortlessly and dirt and fingerprints are repelled. In addition, the nitrogen filling prevents moisture inside the lenses, so that the Conquest HDX can also be used safely in humid environments. Whether in extreme temperatures, in wet conditions or in direct sunlight - the Conquest HDX is durable, waterproof, and shockproof and proves to be a reliable companion, whether stalking or on the high seat.

Carefully thought-out ergonomics

The Conquest HDX focuses quickly and precisely, even when wearing gloves. In addition, the balanced torque enables fatigue-free observation, even on longer observation days. The diopter lock prevents unintentional adjustments and makes it easy to maintain the desired settings. In addition, the durable and easy-to-clean eyecups can be adjusted to four different positions for further customization and comfort. Thanks to the easily accessible interface for a tripod adapter, quick attachment of the binoculars for stable observation is ensured.
