Premium Optics with HD Concept
The optical excellence of the Conquest HDX is based on the HD concept: a perfectly balanced optical system that combines selected coatings, lenses and a finely tuned optical design. It enables 90 % light transmission for the brightest images, colour fidelity for true-to-life images without colour fringing and colour casts for perfect identification and sharpness from edge to edge for a clear and detailed image across the entire field-of-view.
Robust and durable design
The Conquest HDX is built to last in any environment, whether it's extreme temperatures, wet conditions, or direct sunlight. Its durable, waterproof, and shockproof features are attributed to its robust mechanical design and lightweight magnesium housing. Additionally, it's covered with a protective rubber armouring that provides a perfect grip under any circumstances.
Carefully thought-out ergonomics
The carefully thought-out ergonomics enable comfortable handling during longer periods of observation thanks to the non-slip grip and the smooth and precise focusing wheel. Adjustable eyecups and lockable diopter settings ensure a customized viewing experience.
A clear view, whatever the weather
There are always exciting things to be seen in the world of nature – even in wet weather. This is why ZEISS developed LotuTec®. A coating for the lenses of binoculars and spotting scopes that enables a clear and unhindered view in all weather conditions.
ZEISS T* Coating
ZEISS T* coating is a guarantee of the brilliant, high-contrast images which you will experience above all in adverse light conditions and in the twilight. Behind it, however, there is no specific formula for building up the layers. Instead, it is a technology that is constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, which varies from lens to lens.

Rediscover the world of birdwatching with the ZEISS Victory® SF. You can experience every spectacle nature has to offer with brilliant optics and an unparalleled wide-angle field of view. Thanks to its light weight, unique ergonomic design and dynamic fast-focus feature, the Victory SF allows for hours of relaxing birding without fatigue. The Victory SF is the new benchmark for birding and wildlife observation in the 125-year development of ZEISS binoculars.
With a field of view of 148m / 1000m, the 8x magnification offers the widest, most natural view and leaves nothing hidden. The seven-lens eyepiece delivers extremely sharp focus all the way to the edges. The moderate magnification, balanced weight distribution and ergonomic grip make these binoculars easy to hold for hours of relaxing viewing. A transmission rate of 92% and large exit pupil measuring over 5 mm reveal the details in dark shadows or the dim light of dusk.
92% Light Transmission
The Ultra-FL Concept is containing several SCHOTT fluoride glasses for absolute color fidelity, brightness, clarity and the finest resolution of details, even in the harshest conditions and most challenging environment.
Extremely wide field of view
With birds often hiding in dense cover, it’s essential that you have a wide field of view to allow you to spot any slight movements. The wide field of view of the ZEISS Victory SF binoculars increases the observable area of interest by up to 20% in comparison with other binoculars. Depending on the model, the field of view is between 120 m and 155 m, giving the user an impressive overview.
True-to-life image quality
Compromises cannot be made when it comes to bird identification – fine details have to be recognised within seconds for an accurate and reliable identification. The ZEISS Victory SF family was developed to master the most demanding situations encountered in birdwatching. The optical performance was maximised with a UFL Concept. This allows the user to master the most demanding of bird-watching scenarios, ensuring every precious moment is captured with absolute clarity.
SmartFocus Concept
The outstanding SmartFocus concept allows you to respond as quickly and intuitively thanks to the improved focusing speed. The focusing wheel is positioned in the triple-link bridge to allow for a comfortable, natural hand position. The anti-slip surface allows for easier, more precise operation and ideal focusing.
ZEISS T* Coating
ZEISS T* coating is a guarantee of the brilliant, high-contrast images which you will experience above all in adverse light conditions and in the twilight. Behind it, however, there is no specific formula for building up the layers. Instead, it is a technology that is constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, which varies from lens to lens.

Image stabilization binoculars for stable, detailed views.
The innovative Kite Optics APC 42 12 x 42 binoculars brought to you by BINTEL redefines nature viewing.
Just as light and just as bright as conventional 42mm roof prism binoculars, but stable. And not the kind of stability you may have experienced before… but an entirely new level of stability. Observe in the strongest winds. Observe as long as you like. See details as if you are watching a film. Start watching while you are still out of breath from that long walk, and enjoy the highest magnifications without the slightest image vibration. But most important of all… Let yourself be amazed by the things you see, that are invisible with even the best standard binoculars.
2° Correction Angle
The stabilization capacity of the Kite Optics APC 42 goes beyond the suppression of image vibrations caused by wind or hand trembling. Its stabilisation capacity is 2x to 3x larger than that of other consumer stabilisers binoculars.
Kite Optics APC 42 stabilized binoculars have a millitary grade capacity stabilisation system that allows stable viewing from driving vehicles, boats, aircrafts and other unstable platforms.
Automatic Power on and Off
You won't need to remember to turn the image stabilization on or switch it back off.
The stabilized binoculars are equipped with KITE’s APC system (angle power control). Without having to switch the button, it will put the stabilizing electronics to sleep mode when the instrument is in rest position (hanging from the neck) , and automatically activate the unit when you start observing again.
This results in a huge increase in battery life and comfort of use.
120 Hour Battery Life with ACP Power Saving
The Kite Optics APC 42 binocular has 2 battery boxes. Each battery box holds 2 standard AA batteries. One battery box contains 2 functional AA batteries that will run for 60 hours. The other box holds 2 spare AA batteries. After the first 60 hours, simply switch the batteries and continue for another 60 hours.
Intelligent features such as the KITE APC system (angle power control) will put the stabilizing electronics in sleep mode when the instrument is in rest position (hanging from the neck) , and automatically activate the unit when you start observing again. This results in a huge increase of battery life and usage comfort.
And regardless of its position (rest or active), after 90 mintues the instrument will automatically switch off for energy saving.
Waterproof and gas filled - great for boating
The Kite Optics APC 42 is fully waterproof. The optical system and electronics are sealed to result in an IPX 7 waterproof rating. It can handle any kind of rain shower and can even be submerged to 1 meter depth for a maximum of 30 minutes. The system is nitrogen gas filled, to prevent internal fogging. The combination makes the Kite Optics APC 42 ideal for general boating use, whale watching, or pelagic bird watching trips.

Compact brilliance. Full NL Pure quality.
The NL Pure 8×32 delivers more scene than any other 32mm binocular on the market. A 150-metre field of view, 92% light transmission, and edge-to-edge sharpness from a precision instrument handmade in Austria.
The world, exactly as it is. Every colour true, every edge sharp, from first light to last.
The widest view in its class
At 150 metres per 1,000 metres — an 8.5° real field of view — the NL Pure 8×32 shows you more of the world than any comparable 32mm binocular. A bird at the tree line, a whale sounding offshore, an alpine ridge at first light: more scene, more context, more moment.
Light the eye can use
SWAROBRIGHT HD multi-layer coating on every optical surface achieves 92% total light transmission. Not a headline figure — it is the difference between dawn detail and a grey silhouette, colour and nothing, a flush and a miss.
Edge-to-edge sharpness. Not just centre sharpness.
Swarovski Optik's patented FieldFlattener lenses correct field curvature across the entire image circle. The result is a flat, uniformly sharp field all the way to the edge — not just the centre sweet spot. When a bird crosses the frame, it stays in focus.
Full field view for spectacle wearers — no compromise to the optical experience.
Repels everything
Hydrophobic and oleophobic outer lens coating. Water beads off. Fingerprints wipe clean in one pass. Rain does not stop the session.
Nitrogen-purged and submersible to 4 metres. Safe in rain, spray, and accidental immersion.
Crafted at source
Every NL Pure is assembled by hand in Absam, Austria — home of Swarovski Optik since 1949.
The forehead rest. A genuinely new idea.
The NL Pure's forehead rest sits above the eyecups and lets you brace the binocular against your brow, significantly reducing hand tremor and fatigue during extended viewing. A small structural detail that changes every long session in the field. Patented by Swarovski Optik.
Go lighter. See more.
The NL Pure 8×32 is the binocular for the observer who wants world-class optics without the weight. 640g. Compact enough for a jacket pocket. Ready for every outing.
Focus as close as 2 metres. Every detail of a perched bird, an insect on a stem, or a wildflower in reach.
FSB functional bag
Ships with Swarovski Optik's FSB functional sidebag and UCS universal comfort strap — purpose-engineered for the field.
Every NL Pure carries Swarovski Optik's 30-year guarantee. An instrument for life.
Everything considered. Nothing overlooked.

- Phase-Corrected BAK4 Roof Prisms
- Fully Multicoated Optics
- Nitrogen-Filled, Water and Fogproof
- Reinforced Polycarbonate Housing
- Center Focusing
- Tripod Mountable
- Twist-Up Eyecups
Designed for the nature enthusiast who wants to pack light without sacrificing image quality, the Pentax 8x25 A-Series AD WP Compact Binocular delivers bright, clear images while weighing in at around 300g. Their BAK4 roof prisms are phase corrected to improve image contrast and enhance colour rendition. All of the optics are anti-reflection and fully multi-coated to maximize light transmission, producing the brightest views possible.
An asymmetrical hinge design enables the binocular to be folded up much smaller than typical centre-hinged optics. In order to cut weight, the housing is made of corrosion- and impact-resistant fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate polymer. The material is also temperature resistant, allowing for its use in extreme climates while reducing expansion and contraction that wide temperature swings can cause (and which can make the optical components move out of collimation over time).

INNOVATION IN EVERY DETAIL
"CONSTANTLY IMPROVING WHAT IS GOOD"
This has been the SWAROVSKI OPTIK motto since day one. For Swarovski, this also means exceeding their customers’ expectations and surprising them time and again – with the precision of Swarovski's products, with their innovative technology and with their comprehensive service.
PRECISION GUARANTEED
Swarovski's products are manufactured with ultra precise tolerances of 8 μ, less than a hair’s breadth (approximately 60 μ). It is only through a combination of maximum precision, state-of-the-art technology and adherence to the high SWAROVSKI OPTIK quality standards that they are able to consistently and permanently assure the optical perfection for which SWAROVSKI OPTIK is renowned, including tazor-sharp, high-contrast images with maximum colour fidelity as a result of exclusively using high-precision lenses and prisms, and complete reliability from -20 °C / +55 °C.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
To ensure a consistently high quality level in all their products, Swarovski subject every product and every phase of production to comprehensive, manual quality controls. Every product also undergoes a full image and material control. Swarovski's quality management system has been certified to ISO 9001/2000 since 1999. Their environmental management system has been certified to ISO 14001 since 2000.
SWAROVISION
The SWAROVISION technology redefined the concept of optical quality.
Field Flattener lenses provide unprecedented peripheral definition, fluoride-containing HD lenses minimize colour fringing, while optimized coatings ensure maximum colour fidelity.
Large eye relief offering a full field of view for those wearing eye glasses.
HD-OPTICS Swarovski's HD optics feature fluoride-containing lenses, which virtually eliminate colour aberrations. The scatter is considerably less with fluoride than with even the best types of optical glass. This enables maximum colour fidelity and leads to a significant improvement in resolution and contrast
SWAROTOP AND SWARODUR
Coatings for bright, high-contrast images: Reduces surface light reflection from 4-6% to 0.2%. Used on all the lenses and prisms found in SWAROVSKI OPTIK products. SWAROBRIGHT
Coating for maximum colour fidelity across the whole light spectrum: SWAROVSKI OPTIK was the first manufacturer in the world to use this technology in series production. SWAROCLEAN
This non-stick coating on the lenses makes it easier to clean away dirt such as water marks, insect repellents, or tree resin. NEW FEATURES AND FIELDPRO PACKAGE The launch of the EL binoculars by SWAROVSKI OPTIK marked a milestone in long-range optics. These binoculars have now been further enhanced following intensive development and a great deal of dedication. The result of these efforts is the best EL Family ever. PREMIUM QUALITY DOWN TO THE SMALLEST DETAIL
Like every product from SWAROVSKI OPTIK, all EL SWAROVISION binoculars are produced using the lowest possible production tolerances and undergo a 100% quality check. Swarovski's commitment to complete customer satisfaction is reflected in their comprehensive 10 year warranty. Should your binoculars develop a fault or be damaged, even outside the warranty period, you can be assured of service second to none.
As standard, the binoculars also come with objective lens protectors, as well as a lift carrying strap.

More detail. Compact by design.
The NL Pure 10×32 combines powerful 10× magnification with a compact 32mm objective. A 114-metre field of view, 92% light transmission, and edge-to-edge sharpness from a precision instrument handmade in Austria.
The world, exactly as it is. Every colour true, every edge sharp, from first light to last.
A 6.5° real field of view
At 114 metres per 1,000 metres — a 6.5° real field of view — the NL Pure 10×32 delivers compelling reach in a compact body. A bird at the tree line, a whale sounding offshore, an alpine ridge at first light: detail resolved at range.
Light the eye can use
SWAROBRIGHT HD multi-layer coating on every optical surface achieves 92% total light transmission. Not a headline figure — it is the difference between dawn detail and a grey silhouette, colour and nothing, a flush and a miss.
Edge-to-edge sharpness. Not just centre sharpness.
Swarovski Optik's patented FieldFlattener lenses correct field curvature across the entire image circle. The result is a flat, uniformly sharp field all the way to the edge — not just the centre sweet spot. When a bird crosses the frame, it stays in focus.
Full field view for spectacle wearers — no compromise to the optical experience.
Repels everything
Hydrophobic and oleophobic outer lens coating. Water beads off. Fingerprints wipe clean in one pass. Rain does not stop the session.
Nitrogen-purged and submersible to 4 metres. Safe in rain, spray, and accidental immersion.
Crafted at source
Every NL Pure is assembled by hand in Absam, Austria — home of Swarovski Optik since 1949.
The forehead rest. A genuinely new idea.
The NL Pure's forehead rest sits above the eyecups and lets you brace the binocular against your brow, significantly reducing hand tremor and fatigue during extended viewing. A small structural detail that changes every long session in the field. Patented by Swarovski Optik.
Go lighter. See more.
The NL Pure 10×32 is the binocular for the observer who wants world-class optics without the weight. 640g. Compact enough for a jacket pocket. Ready for every outing.
Focus as close as 2 metres. Every detail of a perched bird, an insect on a stem, or a wildflower in reach.
