Swarovski Optik Binoculars turn every moment into an experience. Each pair is set the highest standards in terms of optics, design, functionality, and quality.
Many details are crucial, especially out birdwatching, when you’re on the lookout and every second counts as a bird flits across the treetops. Most details are invisible to the naked eye. Swarovski binoculars will reveal these details to you. They focus your view on the beauty of nature.
Whether you need binoculars for birding, whale watching, astronomy, hunting, or just as a travelling companion, we have the perfect binocular for you. BINTEL has been proudly supplying SWAROVSKI BINOCULARS and SPOTTING SCOPES to Australian and New Zealand customers for over 40 years, and is an official dealer for Swarovski Optik.
Revolutionary optical performance, outstanding ergonomic design and perfect functionality. Swarovski EL binoculars embody absolute excellence in long-range optics.
Birders and nature lovers trust Swarovski EL 10x42 binoculars to share special moments in every exciting detail. For instance, have you ever watched a Wandering Albatross, an exceptionally gifted glider among water birds, letting itself be skillfully carried up high by the updraft? This is a moment that displays nature as majestic and commanding in its own absolute perfection, and you will want only the best set of optics to bring you closer.
Anyone who picks up a pair of EL Family binoculars can sense immediately that Swarovski Optik has been inspired by such sights. With these binoculars, future-oriented technologies meet master crasftsmanship. The result is an almost magical interaction between optics, ergonomics and functionality, rolled into a masterly crafted design that stands out with its subtle elegance from all competitors.
The new EL generation is also molded in this proud tradition. The crystal-clear optics provided by SWAROVISION technology and the unique ergonomic design, including the EL wrap-around grip, are enhanced by the new, perfectly harmonized FieldPro package. This offers an unprecedented level of comfort while birding and enjoying wildlife, thanks to the new carrying strap and objective lens and eyepiece covers.

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 their products, with their innovative technology, and with their comprehensive customer 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 they are renowned, including razor-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
Swarovision technology redefined the concept of optical quality, and is now standard in all Swarovski EL binoculars
Field Flattener lenses provide unprecedented peripheral definition, fluoride-containing HD lenses minimize colour fringing, while optimised coatings ensure maximum colour fidelity.
Large eye relief offering a full field of view for those wearing eye glasses is standard.
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
After a long, hard day in the field, nothing feels better than being able to return your optics to crystal clear condition.
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 IN THE FIELDPRO PACKAGE
The launch of the EL binoculars by Swarovski in 1999 marked a milestone in long-range optics. These binoculars are constantly being improved upon and further enhanced, so it is no surprise that following intensive development and a great deal of dedication, Swarovski has done it again. The result of these efforts is the best EL Family ever, as released in late 2015, with the new FieldPro package.
Completely redesigned strap and harness connection.
The new rotating strap connector with a cord adapts perfectly to any movement.
The bayonet catch enables you to fit and switch the carrying strap and accessories very quickly and flexibly.
With a simple turn of its practical quick catch button you can rapidly and silently adjust the carrying strap to the right length.
The objective lens covers blend aesthetically into the overall design and also remain securely attached to the binoculars thanks to the innovative connector.
The focusing wheel is improved and easier to use, thanks to its softer, fully armored, and more slip-resistant design.
Personal settings stay unchanged thanks to the diopter adjustment’s new lock function.
PREMIUM QUALITY DOWN TO THE SMALLEST DETAIL
Like every product from Swarovski Optik, all EL binoculars are produced using the lowest possible production tolerances and undergo a 100% quality check. As standard, the binoculars also come with eyepiece and objective lens protectors, as well as a lift carrying strap.
Field flattener lenses: contrast right up to the image periphery
HD optics: maximum contrast & colour fidelity
Eye relief plus: 100% field of view even for spectacle wearers
Maximum colour fidelity: through optimized coating of the lenses and prisms.
Swarovski guarantees complete customer satisfaction. This is reflected in their comprehensive 10 year warranty. With a rugged design functional from -25°C to +55°C, and exceptional waterproofing, Swarovski Optik products are built to last even in the harshest of conditions. Should your binoculars develop a fault or be severely damaged, even outside the warranty period, you can be assured of service second to none as they are carefully and precisely repaired by Swarovski's specialised team of experts back in Austria.

133 m field of view at 1,000 m — the widest of any top-tier 10×42. SWAROVISION field flattener lenses. 92% light transmission. The NL Pure 10×42 is built for birders who want both reach and an immersive, edge-to-edge-sharp view. Handcrafted in Austria.
10× with no trade-off. Handcrafted in Absam, Austria. The NL Pure 10×42 puts distant birds in razor-sharp relief, across the widest view a 10×42 can deliver.
SWAROVISION Technology
Field flattener lenses. 133 m of sharp, edge to edge.
At 10×, edge sharpness matters more than ever. The NL Pure’s patented field flattener lenses counteract field curvature so that all 133 m of your view — at 1,000 m distance — stays in razor-sharp focus from the centre right out to the rim. No softening. No distortion. Just the bird.
Wasp waist design
10×
Natural ergonomic grip. Hours of use without fatigue.
Low-light performance
Into dusk. Then deeper.
A 4.2 mm exit pupil and 92% light transmission keep the image bright well past the point other 10×42 binoculars give up. The 42 mm objective gathers light long after the sun drops below the treeline.
Waterproof construction
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.
Wasp-waist ergonomics
10× power. Held for hours, not minutes.
Higher magnification amplifies hand shake. The NL Pure 10×42 is designed to minimise it: the wasp-waist housing brings your hands to the optimal balance point, while the optional FieldPro forehead rest lets you brace against your brow for a genuinely steady image — even at 10× on a shaky clifftop.
Handcrafted in Absam, Austria
The pinnacle 10×42. Considered in every detail.
From the machined focus wheel to the SWAROVISION field flattener lenses and phase-coated BaK-4 prisms, the NL Pure 10×42 represents decades of Austrian optical engineering at its most refined.
Why NL Pure
The pinnacle 10×42. Every reason to choose NL Pure.
133 m field of view at 1,000 m — the widest of any top-tier 10×42 binocular. Exceptional 10× reach, without the narrow-tunnel feeling of most high-magnification designs.
SWAROVISION field flattener lenses deliver sharp, distortion-free images to the very edge of the view.
18 mm eye relief with seven eyecup positions. Full field of view with or without eyeglasses.
92% light transmission and 4.2 mm exit pupil. Sharp, colour-accurate views at 10× from dawn chorus right into dusk.
Wasp-waist ergonomic housing sits naturally in the hand. Comfortable for extended observation sessions.
Compatible with the full FieldPro accessory system: forehead rest, wide strap lug, and tripod adapter — especially valuable at 10× for reducing hand shake.
Close focus of just 2 m for butterflies, wildflowers, and birds at arm’s reach.
Nitrogen-purged and waterproof to 4 m. Sealed against moisture, fog, and Australian field conditions.
FieldPro accessory system
Adapt to every situation.
The NL Pure 10×42 is the foundation. The FieldPro accessory system builds on it. Attach the forehead rest for steady, fatigue-free observation at high magnification. Add the wide strap lug for a more comfortable carry. Mount the tripod adapter for extended long-distance scanning — everything clicks in without tools.

Why The CL Pocket
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.
Optical Precision
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.
5.6°True Field of View (98m at 1000m)
Everyday Companion
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.
350gTotal weight Pocketable in a jacket or day pack
2.5m Close Focus
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.
Built For Every Eye
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.

The CL Pocket 8x25 Wild Nature
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.
The widest field of view in its class. 12× magnification with edge-to-edge SWAROVISION clarity. Handcrafted in Austria for observers who refuse to compromise reach for quality.
The widest field of view in any 42 mm binocular. At 12×, the NL Pure sees what other flagship binoculars can only gesture at.
SWAROVISION Technology
Field flattener lenses. Edge-to-edge clarity.
Most binoculars soften at the edges. The NL Pure uses field flattener lenses to counteract field curvature, delivering razor-sharp detail right to the rim of the view. No compromise, no blur where the birds are.
Wasp waist design
12×
Natural ergonomic grip. Hours of use without fatigue.
Low-light performance
Still bright. Long after dusk.
A 3.5 mm exit pupil paired with 92% light transmission keeps the image clear when other 12× binoculars go flat. The 42 mm objective works hardest in the golden hour, when the best sightings happen.
Waterproof construction
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.
Forehead rest
Steady the view. Forget the binoculars.
The optional forehead rest lets you observe for hours without arm fatigue. Your hands hold steady, your attention stays on the bird. Combined with the wasp-waist grip, the NL Pure becomes an extension of your own vision.
Made in Austria
Six decades of glass. One instrument.
Every component – from the machined focus wheel to the phase-coated BaK-4 roof prisms – is assembled by hand in Austria. The NL Pure 12×42 is what happens when optics engineering runs in the culture.
Why NL Pure
The long-range observer’s binocular. Nothing left out.

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.
SWAROVISION Technology
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.
Wasp waist design
8×
Natural ergonomic grip. Hours of use without fatigue.
Low-light performance
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.
Waterproof construction
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.
Wasp-waist ergonomics
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.
Handcrafted in Absam, Austria
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.
Why NL Pure
The pinnacle 8×42. Every reason to choose NL Pure.
Widest field of view in any 42 mm binocular at 159 m per 1,000 m, keeping fast-moving birds in frame.
SWAROVISION field flattener lenses deliver sharp, distortion-free images to the very edge of the view.
18 mm eye relief with seven eyecup positions. Full field of view with or without eyeglasses.
92% light transmission and 5.3 mm exit pupil. Exceptional performance from dawn to deep dusk.
Wasp-waist ergonomic housing sits naturally in the hand. Comfortable for extended observation sessions.
Compatible with the full FieldPro accessory system: forehead rest, wide strap lug, and tripod adapter for extended field sessions.
Close focus of just 2 m for butterflies, wildflowers, and birds at arm’s reach.
Nitrogen-purged and waterproof to 4 m. Sealed against moisture, fog, and Australian field conditions.
FieldPro accessory system
A system built around your field style.
The NL Pure is the foundation. The FieldPro accessory system extends its capability. Attach the forehead rest for rock-steady, fatigue-free observation over hours. Add the wide strap lug for a more comfortable carry position. Mount the tripod adapter for sustained long-distance scanning — everything clicks in without tools.

Wasp waist design
10×
Natural ergonomic grip. Hours of use without fatigue.
Low-light performance
Sharp at distance. Bright at dusk.

The travelling birder’s ideal binocular. Everything accounted for.
132 m field of view at 1,000 m with 10× magnification – a wider view than most rivals at the same power, in a body you barely notice.

18 mm eye relief with seven eyecup positions. Full field of view with or without eyeglasses.

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.
Completely redesigned strap and harness connection.
The new rotating strap connector with a cord adapts perfectly to any movement.
The bayonet catch enables you to fit and switch the carrying strap and accessories very quickly and flexibly.
With a simple turn of its practical quick catch button you can rapidly and silently adjust the carrying strap to the right length.
The objective lens covers blend aesthetically into the overall design and also remain securely attached to the binoculars thanks to the innovative connector.
The focusing wheel can also be used more easily, thanks to its softer, fully armored, and more slip-resistant design.
The diopter adjustment’s new lock function ensures that your personal settings cannot be changed.
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. As standard, the binoculars also come with eyepiece and objective lens protectors, as well as a lift carrying strap.
Field flattener lenses: contrast right up to the image periphery
HD optics: maximum contrast & colour fidelity
Eye relief plus: 100 % field of view even for spectacle wearers
Maximum colour fidelity: through optimized coating of the lenses and prisms.
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.

LET THERE BE LIGHT
The new high-luminosity Swarovski SLC 15x56 binoculars provide you with the benefit of the 15x magnification, so that you can make out details better. The optimized optical system for night use, combined with the outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness and a large field of view make observation easy for you even in poor light conditions. The extended depressions for improved grip and the balanced weight also ensure maximum comfort when using them.
THE EXPERIENCED EXPERT
Experiencing wildlife later in the day is particularly attractive for many people. This is precisely the time when otherwise very shy creatures, such as owls or even wildcats, make an appearance. The Swarovski SLC 15x56 binoculars will provide you with maximum support as you make your eye-opening discoveries. They impress with their optimized optical system for night use and optimum viewing comfort that prevents any feeling of fatigue during observation.
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.
The binoculars combine state-of-the-art optics with precise measuring functions.
The integrated tilt indicator with a unique angle shot program displays either the adjusted shooting distance or the angle. The EL RANGE Tracking Assist gives you precise measurements from a distance of 10 meters (10.9 yards).
PERSONALIZED BALLISTICS
AIM
Use the smartphone app to configure the binoculars to your specific needs and individual ballistics data. Based on this and atmospheric data such as air pressure and temperature, it helps you to shoot with even greater precision because, along with the adjusted shooting distance, it also gives you the number of clicks needed for your rifle scope.
Tracking Assist
FIND
The integrated Tracking Assistant makes it much easier to track your prey by guiding you to where you fired your last shot. You can opt to use this program via your phone or your EL Range.
HUNTING CHAMOIS
WITH THE EL RANGE TA IN THE SWISS ALPS
For more than 10 years, Fabien Prétôt has never missed the opening day of the chamois season. So he headed out into the Swiss Alps of the canton of Valais in September 2020 to stay true to this tradition. However, this time he was not only accompanied by me, his brother Vincent, but also by the new EL Range TA.

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.
FieldFlattener lens system
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.
Eye relief

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.
Completely redesigned strap and harness connection.
The new rotating strap connector with a cord adapts perfectly to any movement.
The bayonet catch enables you to fit and switch the carrying strap and accessories very quickly and flexibly.
With a simple turn of its practical quick catch button you can rapidly and silently adjust the carrying strap to the right length.
The objective lens covers blend aesthetically into the overall design and also remain securely attached to the binoculars thanks to the innovative connector.
The focusing wheel can also be used more easily, thanks to its softer, fully armored, and more slip-resistant design.
The diopter adjustment’s new lock function ensures that your personal settings cannot be changed.
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.
As standard, the binoculars also come with objective lens protectors, as well as a lift carrying strap.
Field flattener lenses: contrast right up to the image periphery
HD optics: maximum contrast & colour fidelity
Eye relief plus: 100 % field of view even for spectacle wearers
Maximum colour fidelity: through optimized coating of the lenses and prisms.
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.

HUNTING CHAMOIS
WITH THE EL RANGE TA IN THE SWISS ALPS
