The open hinge design of the Hawke Sapphire provides fantastic full size optical performance in a tidy and fluent package. The glass inside is fully multi coated and is extra low dispersion to provide superb clarity, and dielectric coatings increase light reflectivity to finish off the internals superbly. High resolution, phase corrected BAK-4 roof prisms further ensure the quality of image in these binoculars.

The focus knob has one turn to it, and focuses to distances as close as 6.6 ft (2 meters) for ultimate flexibility. A water repellant coating is also installed on the objective lenses to keep the image clean, and the chassis is made from lightweight magnesium allow to provide strength and lightness, and this is then coated in rubber to ensure a strong grip.

The lens covers are Stay-On design to prevent losing them, and the eye cups twist up with position stops at certain intervals, for perfect eye relief.
