The Hasselblad X2D 100C Earth Explorer Limited Edition is a one-of-a-kind kit crafted for photographers who venture into the world's natural landscapes. Limited to only 1,000 units worldwide, this exclusive edition marries the exceptional capabilities of the Hasselblad X2D 100C with a distinctive Tundra Brown exterior, a colour palette inspired by the Nordic wilderness.

Tundra Brown: A Colour Inspired by Nordic Landscapes

Embracing a hue native to Hasselblad's Scandinavian roots, Tundra Brown stands out among nature's most captivating colours. This unique shade symbolizes the adventurous spirit of photographers who brave extreme environments with courage and determination. Through the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS), they can accurately capture the subtle tones of the Nordic tundra and other breathtaking landscapes, inviting a wider audience to appreciate nature's beauty and diverse hues.

Embark and Discover with the Explorer Kit

Designed to honour the essence of exploration and inspire creativity, the kit includes:  the Hasselblad X2D 100C Earth Explorer Limited Edition camera body, an XCD 2,5/55V lens, a limited-edition camera strap, UV filter, X System battery charging hub, and two X System batteries. These accessories provide photographers with everything needed to embark on their next great adventure immediately.

Inspired by the resilient ecosystem of the Nordic tundra—where life thrives under harsh conditions—the Tundra Brown colour embodies the spirit of perseverance that Hasselblad aims to convey with this limited edition. This shade blends the grey-green of arctic vegetation with the deep brown of the soil, enhancing the minimalist elegance of the camera's metal body.

Exclusive Features and Distinctive Design

Each kit features a laser-engraved "Earth Explorer" inscription and a unique serial number ranging from 0001 to 1000 on the side of the camera body, ensuring its exclusivity. A special "Earth Explorer" start-up screen greets users each time the camera is powered on, marking the beginning of an extraordinary creative journey.

The limited-edition camera strap is crafted from eco-friendly recycled plastics, interwoven with traditional weaving techniques. The interior features high-tech, soft, skin-friendly fabric for exceptional comfort, lightweight performance, and easy maintenance. The strap showcases hand-embroidered "Hasselblad" text on the exterior and a precision laser-engraved "Earth Explorer" on the interior.
