NATURE
OPENS
OUR EYES
AT ONE WITH NATURE. Have patience! Observe quietly and wait for the moment,
trust in the possibilities nature will grant you today. Your thoughts drift but your
senses stay alert.
It’s the here and now that counts. Your eyes scan the horizon, may even get
sidetracked. There is so much to discover, no time to get bored.
Then out of nowhere you catch a glimpse of something.
At this moment your heartbeat quickens and your eyes focus with concious
precision.
And best of all you are ready, ready for just this moment.
“THE WORLD
BELONGS TO THOSE
WHO CAN SEE
BEAUTY.”
Carina Schiestl-Swarovski,
Chairwoman of the Executive Board
The tradition of innovation. A lot has changed since the
times when my great grandfather Wilhelm Swarovski, an avid
amateur astronomer, decided more than 60 years ago to build
his own improved binoculars "to be closer to the stars".
Even though the world has now become a different one, many
things remain unchanged at SWAROVSKI OPTIK in Absam:
A love of nature that has shaped our company for more than half a
century. An innovative spirit passed on through generations. Strong
roots in the Tyrol, and a clear commitment to our production site.
Our aspiration to give people nothing but the best by exciting them
with trend setting innovations. And finally, our joint vision to make
the best products a reality by designing and building them.
All of this is done with a single goal in mind:
to bring nature even closer.
Experience the moment.
SEE THE UNSEEN.
CLOSER AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT
When people have been working for a company as long as I have, they
sometimes think they have seen it all. That may be true for some companies;
but certainly not for SWAROVSKI OPTIK. The people who work here are
committed to quality and innovation every day and in all areas.
Our in-house research and development department is driven by key questions,
such as: What is expected from a product that simply needs to be the best?
How can trend-setting industrial technologies and masterly craftsmanship be
combined to form a whole greater than the sum of its parts?
Our binoculars stand for highest possible quality. Our customers choose
SWAROVSKI OPTIK because they value precision, workmanship and
longevity, which we can guarantee by applying the strictest testing standards.
FRANZ ERLER, QUALITY MANAGEMENT
SWAROVSKI OPTIK
EACH PRODUCT
A PIECE OF PRECISE
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Quality Needs Checking
The hawk depicted on SWAROVSKI OPTIK binoculars is
something of a signet to us reminding us every day that only
a masterpiece may be awarded with this symbol.
My colleagues and I make sure that everyone buying an
EL SWAROVISION binocular will become the owner of 100 %
controlled quality. Every single piece is checked according to
precisely defined optical and mechanical parameters. Only
binoculars that are absolutely perfect will get a C mark in my
final report along with my initials, which is another way of saying "checked".
Once, there was a visitor taking a tour of our company who
remarked upon watching this quality control procedure: "It is this
C that makes us so happy as a user", a statement that made me
happy.

Optical Perfection −
Inspired by Nature
"Ground-breaking", is the verdict of everyone who looks through a binocular with SWAROVISION technology for the first time.
We say: It's simply the best on the market regarding precision, functionality and design.

CONTRAST RIGHT UP TO THE

FIELD FLATTENER
image periphery, enabling the observer to enjoy, for the first
time, a perfect image without any distortion. Peripheral
definition allows for comfortable observation across the entire
field of view resulting in perfect comprehension of difficult
situations right up to the edge of the image, even at twilight.
HD OPTICS
Highly innovative optics design combined with fluoridecontaining HD lenses minimise interfering colour fringing.
This enables maximum colour fidelity and leads to a significant
improvement in resolution and contrast. This translates into
an even more lifelike and high-contrast image. During target
identification, it is the hidden details of the game observed
that make the difference.
SWAROVISION
This type of image definition has never been achieved before
in any other binocular. The field flattener lenses create a
virtually even image. The finest structures and smallest
details are reproduced with perfect contrast right up to the

EYE RELIEF PLUS
100 % FIELD OF VIEW EVEN FOR SPECTACLE WEARERS
EL SWAROVISION features a larger exit pupil distance than
other binoculars, allowing spectacle wearers a full, wideangle field of view and the opportunity to enjoy the inimitable
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 spectacle wearers (completely
twisted in), the eyecups also have two snap-in intermediate
stages.
MAXIMUM COLOUR FIDELITY
OPTIMISED COATING
The enhanced lens and prism coatings (SWARODUR,
SWAROTOP, SWAROBRIGHT) of the EL SWAROVISION family
of binoculars give noticeably better colour reproduction
combined with even greater transmission.
This allows for more impressive experiences while observing,
even at twilight. The SWAROCLEAN coating on the outer
surface of the lens provides a non-stick effect, making it
easier to clean away impurities such as water marks, insect
repellents or tree resin.

INNOVATION
IN EVERY DETAIL
Trusting in our own abilities. The drive for ongoing development rather than being
content with the best. Never stopping to excite through innovation. The history of
SWAROVSKI OPTIK is shaped by many decisions of outstanding courage.
The EL SWAROVISION binoculars are one of these success stories. Elegant design,
ergonomic wrap-around grip, utmost functionality. There are many reasons why the
EL SWAROVISION series will convince you.
In the SWAROVSKI OPTIK team, there are many hunters. This is why we know
exactly what matters in a hunt: experiencing, seeing, identifying your target
and discovering the beauty of nature. It is our goal to develop the most brilliant
binoculars – by hunters for hunters.
IT'S THE GRIP
Thanks to their unique, time-tested EL wrap-around grip, these compact, premium binoculars fit
snugly in your hand. All load bearing parts are made from high-quality light alloys, making them
extremely rugged and sturdy. The lightweight and ergonomically balanced magnesium housing
with non-slip rubber armouring makes it perfect for long periods of observation and extremely
comfortable to hold – even using only one hand.
JUST A SHORT TURN
AWAY FROM YOUR TARGET
The focusing wheel with its unique combination of hard and soft components represents stability
and grip. The focusing mechanism is particularly reliable, even in unfavourable weather conditions.
Only a short turn of the focus wheel takes you from close to distant targets.
