High-Definition Optics: Multi-coated lenses and PORRO/BAK-4 prisms deliver sharp, high-contrast images with vibrant color, bringing distant objects into stunning detail.

Ergonomic Design: Rugged, non-slip rubber armor ensures a secure grip and durability, while offering comfort and stability during prolonged use.

Integrated Compass and Rangefinder Reticle: The built-in navigation aids enhance functionality for mariners, enabling precise bearing and distance measurements.

Adjustable Eyecups: Suitable for both eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers, the adjustable eyecups ensure comfortable viewing for all users.

The new Wafinder has a retail list price of approximately Cdm$620 and is available widely through authorized marine retailers.
