CL Pocket 10x25
Wild Nature
Big on quality, small in size. A folding compact binocular that disappears into a jacket pocket, yet delivers the crystalline image you expect from Swarovski Optik.
Always ready for
the wonders of nature
Four reasons the CL Pocket is the compact binocular that goes everywhere — and performs like it shouldn't.
Pocket-Sized Design
Folds flat to fit in almost any pocket. Just 350g, ready for a jacket, a day pack, or a handbag.
Precision 10× Optics
10× magnification with 88% light transmission delivers sharp, high-contrast images at close range and distance.
2.5m Close Focus
Razor-sharp detail on butterflies, dragonflies and flowers just 2.5 metres away. A macro window on the natural world.
Made in Austria
Hand-assembled in Absam, Tirol. Waterproof to 4m depth, nitrogen-filled, built to outlast every trip.
Crystal-clear views,
from a pocket-sized instrument
Every lens surface is fully multi-coated with Swarovski's proprietary coatings. The result is an image with the bright, high-contrast character that defines Swarovski Optik — and 88% light transmission so that detail holds up well into last light.
A 5.6° true field of view shows you enough of the scene to locate birds quickly, then lets your 10× magnification resolve the plumage detail once you've framed the subject.
(98m at 1000m)
Folded flat,
always with you
The CL Pocket's dual-hinge bridge design folds the barrels in underneath, collapsing to a footprint that disappears into a coat pocket or day pack. The rubber-armoured aluminium chassis is balanced in the hand and steady at 10×.
The twin hinges also provide an unusually wide 48–74mm interpupillary range, so the same binocular fits children, adults, and every eye-spacing in between. Small enough that you'll actually bring it with you.
Pocketable in a jacket or day pack
A macro lens
for the natural world
Close focus down to 2.5 metres turns the CL Pocket into something more than a distance tool. Dragonflies resting on a reed. Butterflies working a garden. Spiders on a web. Fungi at the base of a tree.
It's the detail you'd normally need a macro camera to see — except here it's live, moving, and framed in your hands. For nature-curious travellers and birders who love the small stuff, close focus is transformative.
17mm of eye relief,
full view for every user
17mm eye relief with adjustable twist-up eyecups gives eyeglass and sunglasses wearers the full field of view — not a cropped ring like lesser compacts.
±5 dpt diopter adjustment lets you match the optic exactly to your eyes. Nitrogen-filled, pressure-tested, and waterproof to 4 metres — operate confidently from the snowline of the Alps to a summer garden in Queensland.
Nitrogen filled · sealed for life
Big on quality, small in size — a folding binocular that fits in the palm of your hand and delivers the image quality we expect from the Swarovski name.Swarovski Optik · Absam, Austria

CL Pocket 10x25 vs 8x25
Choosing between the two magnifications? Here's how the 10x25 and 8x25 compare — same chassis, different optical experience.
The 10× is the detail-forward choice for birding and wildlife. The 8× has a wider field and brighter exit pupil for handheld stability and low light.
Every pocket
deserves a Swarovski
Hand-assembled in Austria, built for a lifetime of observation, and small enough to carry every day. This is the binocular that goes everywhere you do.

CL Pocket 8x25
Wild Nature
Big on quality, small in size. The 8× companion version of the CL Pocket, with a wider field and a brighter, steadier image — ready for the jacket pocket and the long day out.
Always ready for
the wonders of nature
Four reasons the CL Pocket is the compact binocular that goes everywhere — and performs like it shouldn't.
Pocket-Sized Design
Folds flat to fit in almost any pocket. Just 350g, ready for a jacket, a day pack, or a handbag.
Precision 8× Optics
8× magnification with a 3.1mm exit pupil and 88% light transmission — a brighter, steadier handheld image that holds detail into last light.
2.5m Close Focus
Razor-sharp detail on butterflies, dragonflies and flowers just 2.5 metres away. A macro window on the natural world.
Made in Austria
Hand-assembled in Absam, Tirol. Waterproof to 4m depth, nitrogen-filled, built to outlast every trip.

Every lens surface is fully multi-coated with Swarovski's proprietary coatings. The result is an image with the bright, high-contrast character that defines Swarovski Optik — and 88% light transmission so that detail holds up well into last light.
A generous 6.8° true field of view shows you 119m of scene at 1000m — roughly 20% wider than the 10×. That width makes it easier to locate moving birds, scan flocks, and track subjects through foliage at 8× magnification.

The CL Pocket's dual-hinge bridge design folds the barrels in underneath, collapsing to a footprint that disappears into a coat pocket or day pack.

The twin hinges also provide an unusually wide 48–74mm interpupillary range, so the same binocular fits children, adults, and every eye-spacing in between. Small enough that you'll actually bring it with you.

The CL Companion Habicht 8x30 was created to celebrate the 75th anniversary of SWAROVSKI OPTIK. It combines the proven quality of the compact CL Companion with the design of the first binoculars from SWAROVSKI OPTIK, the Habicht. The 8x magnification brings the crucial details even closer to you.
CL Companion Habicht - the anniversary binoculars
75 years SWAROVSKI OPTIK: The CL Companion Habicht is our compact CL Companion with a unique design reminiscent of the first binoculars which we produced in series – the Habicht.
Limited anniversary edition
The CL Companion Habicht is limited to unique 1,000 pieces. Each individual pair f binoculars comes with its own certificate and is numbered by hand. This way you can be sure to get a unique one-of-a-kind.
The natural differences in the appearance of leather products can lead to slight variations. However, this is a quality feature and has no negative impact on the optical quality or durability of the binoculars.
Sustainably manufactured
The leather for the CL Companion Habicht comes from sustainable production in Europe and is vegetable tanned. Extracts from olive leaves are used for this gentle process. We also pay attention to sustainable regionality when it comes to accessories: The high-quality bag is made of cloth loden (sheep wool), which is produced in Germany, as well as Nappa leather and is lined with cotton.
