With 90% light transmission across the range, you can enjoy outdoor activities and wildlife observation even in low light conditions at dawn or dusk.
Carefully considered usability and ergonomics ensure fast and precise focusing, even while wearing gloves. The intuitive locking diopter and smooth, durable, and replaceable eyecups add to the overall ease of use.

ZEISS Conquest HDX 10x42 Binoculars in More Detail
ZEISS optics made for nature enthusiasts
Enjoy brighter images to identify wildlife even in low light, with true-to-life colours free from fringing, colour casts, or artefacts thanks to ZEISS's advanced HD optical design. This includes up to 10 lenses, which are matched to provide exceptional optical quality, with highly precise manufacturing of the optical system. FieldFlattener technology ensures high resolution across the entire field of view, while aspherical and low dispersion (ED) glass reduces chromatic aberration.
Robust New Housing and Rugged Design
A new housing made from lightweight and stable magnesium is lighter than its predecessor and features latex-free rubber armouring for high protection. The wall thickness of the lens frames has been strengthened, removing any potential weak points, and combining a robust mechanical design with the optics.
Ready for Even the Toughest Conditions
With ZEISS LotuTec lens coating and Nitrogen filling, the Conquest HDX binoculars are built for the toughest conditions. The LotuTec coating is water and grease-repellent, making images clear and cleaning easy. The coating repels particles, water drops, moisture, and fingerprints, allowing for stress-free cleaning of your optics. Additionally, the Nitrogen-filled waterproof design means you can rinse the binoculars under running water without needing a microfibre cloth, reducing the risk of accidental damage.
Great Usability
Wildlife enthusiasts can expect a relaxed and enjoyable viewing experience with binoculars that are easy to handle in the field. The updated design includes modern armouring for a perfect grip and fast, yet precise and smooth focus, requiring only 1.3 turns from close to infinity.
New comfortable and replaceable eyecups, removable flip-up lens covers, and a locking diopter contribute to the flexibility needed to approach any observational situation with greater confidence.
Extensive Testing
In order to deliver consistently reliable binoculars, ZEISS subjects the Conquest HDX to extensive optical, endurance, and environmental tests. These include testing the replaceable eyecups, hinges, and optics to ensure longevity and high performance.
They are also submerged to 4m, tested in heat and frost, and subjected to vibration and UV-light tests. Dermatological tests also ensure that these binoculars will not cause adverse reactions when held close to the skin for extended periods.
What’s the Difference Between HD and HDX?
The new HDX range features a number of benefits over the original ZEISS HD series of binoculars, which include:
- A lighter, yet robust magnesium housing
- A new contemporary armouring design with even better grip
- A more accessible tripod interface
- Durable and replaceable eyecups
- A lockable diopter
- Improved protection caps and a carrying case with a strap, as seen in the premium SFL range
