The widest view.
In any 42 mm binocular.
159 m field of view at 1,000 m. SWAROVISION field flattener lenses sharp to every edge. 92% light transmission. Handcrafted in Austria. The NL Pure 8×42 is Swarovski’s pinnacle binocular — built for birders who demand the very best.
159 m wide at 1,000 m. Handcrafted in Absam, Austria. The NL Pure redefines how much of the world a binocular can hold.
Field flattener lenses. Sharp to the very edge.
Most 42 mm binoculars soften and distort at the edges. The NL Pure’s patented field flattener lenses counteract field curvature so that the entire 159 m view stays in razor-sharp focus — from the centre to the outermost rim. See every bird. Miss none.
Natural ergonomic grip. Hours of use without fatigue.
Into dusk. Then deeper.
A 5.3 mm exit pupil and 92% light transmission keep the image bright when other binoculars go dark. The 42 mm objective lens gathers light long after the sun drops below the treeline.
Submersible to 4 m depth.
Nitrogen-purged to prevent fogging. Sealed to 4 metres. Weather is not a reason to leave the NL Pure at home.
Built for hours in the field. Not minutes on a bench.
The NL Pure’s iconic wasp-waist housing positions your hands at the optimal grip point, reducing arm fatigue during extended observation. Add the optional FieldPro forehead rest and the binocular steadies itself against your brow — leaving your hands free and your attention on the bird.
Swarovski’s flagship. Perfected.
Every element of the NL Pure 8×42 is the result of deliberate Austrian engineering — from the machined focus wheel and phase-coated BaK-4 prisms to the fluorite-containing glass delivering 92% light transmission.
