The Vortex Diamondback HD binoculars bring the world closer—crisp, colorful, and full of detail.

You’re currently looking at the 8x42 model.

Key features of the Vortex Diamondback HD binoculars

• Pin-sharp HD optics – Selected glass elements provide outstanding resolution and true-to-life colors.
• Fully multi-coated lenses – Multiple anti-reflective coatings boost light transmission, giving you a bright image even at dusk.
• Weatherproof and shock-resistant – The rugged rubber armor offers a secure grip and dependable performance in any climate.
• Comfortable design – Adjustable eyecups, a smooth focus wheel, and ergonomic handling make long observation sessions easy.
• Lifetime VIP Warranty – Vortex stands behind every product: if something goes wrong, you’re covered for life—no hassle.

The Diamondback HD series combines high-end performance with a compact design. Choose the 8x28 or 10x28 for hiking, the 8x32 or 10x32 for city trips, or the 8x42 and 10x42 for birdwatching—there’s always a model that fits the way you explore. For maximum brightness and range, the larger 10x50, 12x50, and 15x56 models are ideal for wildlife observation or even astronomical use.

Every binocular in the Diamondback HD series features dielectric coatings for accurate color reproduction and an ArmorTek coating to protect the lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt. O-ring seals keep out moisture and dust, while the argon gas purging prevents internal fogging—even during extreme temperature changes.

Ease of use is another strong point of this series. With adjustable eyecups, you can set the perfect viewing position, with or without glasses. The central focus wheel sharpens both barrels at once, and the diopter ring compensates for differences between your eyes. For extra stability, every Diamondback HD can be mounted on a tripod or a window mount (available separately).

This Vortex Diamondback HD binocular comes with the practical GlassPak harness, allowing you to carry your binoculars safely, comfortably, and always within reach. Perfect for long hikes or trips—and much more pleasant than a standard neck strap.
