Experience the moment Nature

SEE THE UNSEEN

WWW.SWAROVSKIOPTIK.COM


Observing is more than seeing.


It is feeling, thinking, and acting in harmony with nature. It is respect for animals, plants, and awe-inspiring scenery.

And accepting the responsibility of protecting this diversity and beauty. It is seeing the big picture - and revealing hidden details. It is the chorus of thousands of voices, or the silence of a precious moment. It is the experience of communing with nature and the constant desire for new discoveries.


A sharp eye for the beauty and diversity of life. And reliable equipment that overcomes the natural limitations of our own perception.

The joy of discovery. And the moment, captured forever.

The true beauty of nature lies in the detail: the subtle shimmer of a bird’s plumage or the flimsy structure of a leaf. Most details, however, are often invisible to the naked eye. With our binoculars, you can see these details – and up close: they open your eyes to the precious wonder of the living world. Thanks to the exceptional optics and understated performance of our binoculars, overcoming our natural limitations is child’s play. Every glance then becomes a discovery and every moment a memorable experience.

SEE CLEARLY. FOR THE FULL VISUAL EXPERIENCE.

Thanks to revolutionary SWAROVISION technology, the new EL 42 SWAROVISION range of binoculars from Swarovski Optik offers unprecedented image quality. The combination of field flattener lenses and HD optics provides impressive image resolution over the whole field of view. The large eye relief allows eyeglass wearers a full, wide angle field of view.

FIELD FLATTENER LENSES – CONTRAST RIGHT UP TO THE IMAGE PERIPHERY The image definition of the new EL SWAROVISION is superior to that of any previous binocular range. The field flattener lenses create a virtually even image.

Even the finest structures and smallest details are reproduced with razor-sharp clarity right up to the image periphery. For the first time ever, the observer enjoys a perfect image without any distortion. The exceptional image quality over the entire field of view eliminates the need for constant refocusing and allows even the smallest details to be registered in an instant.

LARGE EYE RELIEF* – ALLOWS EYEGLASS WEARERS A FULL FIELD OF VIEW

HIGH DEFINITION – FOR MAXIMUM CONTRAST

MODELS WITH HD OPTICS

Our HD optics are characterized by fluoride-containing lenses for lifelike color reproduction. This enables maximum color fidelity and leads to a significant improvement in resolution and contrast. The resultant image is more lifelike and higher in contrast.

All EL SWAROVISION and SLC 42 HD binoculars in addition to ATM HD and STM HD spotting scopes.

OPTIMIZED COATING – FOR MAXIMUM COLOR FIDELITY

The SWAROCLEAN coating on the outer surface of the lens provides a non-stick effect, making it easier to clean away dirt such as water marks, insect repellents, or tree resin.

The enhanced lens and prism coatings (SWARODUR, SWAROTOP, SWAROBRIGHT) of the EL SWAROVISION range give noticeably better color reproduction combined with even greater transmission. For reliable identification, even in twilight.

EL SWAROVISION features a larger exit pupil distance than other binoculars, allowing eyeglass wearers a full, wideangle field of view and the opportunity to enjoy the ultimate peripheral definition of EL SWAROVISION. The removable twist-in eyecups are individually adjustable in four stages. In addition to the maximum position (completely twisted out) and the setting for eyeglass wearers (completely twisted in), the eyecups also have two interim stages.

QUICK, PRECISE, AND RELIABLE

Shortest focusing distance ever of 4.9 ft (1.5 m)

With its time-tested, elegant EL design with fully functional wrap-around grip, the EL SWAROVISION has exceptional functionality and design credentials. The wrap-around grip and focusing mechanism have been specially designed to allow the binoculars to be held securely and operated comfortably with only one hand, even when wearing gloves.

Lightweight magnesium housing

LEGENDARY EL wrap-around grip – COMFORTABLE TO HANDLE

NEW FOCUSING MECHANISM

Fascinating macro observation

All load bearing parts are made from high quality light alloys – making them extremely rugged and sturdy. At the same time, the EL is extremely light due to its lightweight magnesium housing. Its extremely slender construction and easy-to-handle rubber armoring ensure a superior observation experience.

Thanks to their unique, time-tested EL wrap-around grip, these compact, premium binoculars fit snugly in your hand. Their light, ergonomically balanced weight make them perfect for long periods of observation and extremely comfortable to use – even using only one hand.

The new focusing wheel with its unique combination of hard and soft components is stable and easy to grip. The focusing mechanism is particularly smooth and completely tolerance free, making operation of the new EL both comfortable and precise. For a perfect observation experience. Only two complete turns of the focusing wheel (EL 42 SWAROVISION) take you from infinity to the shortest focusing distance ever of 4.9 ft (1.5 m). The new focusing mechanism enables a correction for defective vision of at least 6 dpt (5 dpt with EL 50 SWAROVISION). It also offers a built-in dioptric compensation of +/- 5 dpt (+/- 4 dpt with EL 50 SWAROVISION) to compensate for different visual acuity in each eye. This results in maximum scope for adjustment to individual visual acuity when used without eyeglasses.

TURN YOUR SPOTTING SCOPE INTO A TELEPHOTO LENS If you are looking to use your camera in combination with your spotting scope, there are a number of different options open to you. It all depends on your specific needs and the type of camera you use. Choose the model that suits you best.

When you finally catch a glimpse of that rare bird or spectacular landscape you have waited so patiently for, it is only natural that you should want to capture the moment for posterity. In such cases, the transition from observation to photography is always a challenge – with animal photographs in particular, the changeover must be effected as quickly and as quietly as possible; a fraction of a second can make all the difference. At the same time, the image quality must meet the highest requirements. SWAROVSKI OPTIK has developed special photo equipment for this very purpose, which is perfectly matched to different camera types and to SWAROVSKI OPTIK spotting scopes and binoculars.

With the help of these highly functional connecting elements, camera and spotting scope or binoculars become a flexible unit suitable for many uses – and it becomes significantly easier to capture extraordinary moments.

The use of high-quality, lightweight metal components and strong, carbon fiber-reinforced synthetic components ensures extreme stability at a very low weight.

The ergonomic quick-release fastenings are smooth, comfortable to use, and almost soundless.

Using the Fast Mount System (FMS), the spotting scope can be mounted quickly onto the tripod head with just one hand.

The spotting scope is automatically secured to the tripod head to prevent accidental release of the spotting scope – for maximum safety.

The world belongs to those who can see beauty SWAROVSKI OPTIK

SEE MORE CLEARLY – DISCOVER MORE

YOUR EXPERIENCE – OUR CHALLENGE

Detail counts, never more so than when you are hoping to experience the full beauty of nature or observe animals in their natural habitat. The wonder of the moment often lies in the smallest detail: the barely perceptible shimmer of a bird’s plumage or the flimsy structure of a leaf. It is an inescapable fact that wild animals often have to be observed from a distance. Reliable optical instruments, such as a highprecision spotting scope or pair of binoculars, are therefore essential and open the door to previously unimagined experiences. Moments you will never forget.

Our top priority is to design products that meet the highest standards: your needs; the everyday practical challenges that you face when observing nature, or when out and about on safari, sightseeing or birding tours. Challenges that sometimes include poor lighting conditions, a sudden rain shower or cold spell, and the need for silent equipment, for instance. And even if something at first seems impossible, we give our all to provide equipment that meets your every desire – a case in point being the EL SWAROVISION range of binoculars, which we have successfully developed to offer exceptional contrast right up to the image periphery. For more than 60 years, our products have consistently proven their powerful optics, exceptional functionality, and durability in a wide range of uses when observing rare animal species and traveling, demonstrating their unobtrusiveness, reliability, and absolute precision. Our products are designed to allow people to see the beauty of nature “with the eyes of a hawk” and experience precious moments. The world belongs to those who can see beauty. Experience the moment.

Field Flattener lenses provide unprecedented peripheral definition, fluoride-containing HD lenses minimize color fringing, while optimized coatings ensure maximum color fidelity. Large eye relief - allows eyeglass wearers a full field of view. HD OPTICS Our HD optics feature fluoride-containing lenses, which virtually eliminate color aberrations. The scatter is considerably less with fluoride than with even the best types of optical glass. This enables maximum color fidelity and leads to a significant improvement in resolution and contrast. SWAROBRIGHT Coating for color fidelity and maximum light transmission across the whole light spectrum: SWAROVSKI OPTIK was the first manufacturer in the world to use this technology in series production. 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. SWAROCLEAN This non-stick coating makes it easier to clean away dirt such as water marks, insect repellents, or tree resin.

SWAROFAST Thanks to the innovative SWAROFAST function, you only need to adjust the position of your camera once in relation to your spotting scope. After this you can remove the camera from the adapter and bring it back into exactly the same position later without any need for readjustment. P-COATING Phase-corrected coating used in all types of roof-prism glass for high contrast images. EL WRAP-AROUND GRIP Wrap-around grip used on all EL binoculars, permitting optimum, rapid handling with just one hand.
