No, SWAROVSKI OPTIK does not just make jewellery. Although the Austrian family business is known for cut crystal glass, other markets have been consistently developed throughout the company's history: For example, drilling and cutting tools are produced, or optical devices. During expansions, it was always important that previously acquired skills could be applied in the new business areas. This is also the case with SWAROVSKI OPTIK, which has been manufacturing binoculars and spotting scopes since 1999. Binoculars from SWAROVSKI OPTIK are ideal for spontaneous use when travelling, hunting and also for demanding ornithology (bird watching). They are even suitable for astronomy.
The magnifications of SWAROVSKI OPTIK binoculars range from 7x to 60x. The Austrian company thus increasingly produces binoculars, but also offers spotting scopes that are best used with a tripod. To distinguish the glasses, SWAROVSKI OPTIK has several product series that are suitable for different areas of use:
The EL series is the highest quality series - which is also visible in the price. But this price pays off, because you don't have to make any compromises in terms of quality and ease of use when using such binoculars. Whether you are hiking, on holiday, hunting or on the water - the EL series is suitable for everything. The series is completed by the EL-Range binoculars, which are particularly suitable for long distances.
The next series goes by the abbreviation CL and is characterised by special compactness. Small in your pocket, but big in optics - with CL binoculars, the world is in your pocket. These particularly small and lightweight binoculars can easily be carried around the body, for example around the neck or on the belt, and are in no way conspicuous due to their heavy weight or unwieldy design.
The link between these two lines is the SLC series: smaller than EL and larger than CL. The quality corresponds to the usual SWAROVSKI OPTIK standard. This series is perfect for longer hiking trips where you carry the binoculars sporadically, but use them again and again for longer viewing.
A classic in the SWAROVSKI OPTIK line-up is the "Goshawk" model, which in purely visual terms is reminiscent of the classic idea of binoculars. Its size and sevenfold magnification make it one of SWAROVSKI OPTIK's most popular glasses and make it suitable for every conceivable situation. Externally robust yet lightweight, "Habicht" delivers impeccable quality and is particularly practical for longer outdoor excursions.
The range is rounded off by the CL Companion Polaris, a special edition that is visually inspired by an arctic look. With its features, it is intended for journeys to the North or South Pole and is designed to embellish such a trip with its small size and yet large field of view.
The SWAROVSKI OPTIK product range, however, consists not only of classic binoculars but also of so-called spotting scopes, a type of telescope. These can be used both monocularly, i.e. with one eye, and binocularly, with two eyes. These spotting scopes, for example the ATX, BTX and STX systems, are intended for standing use at a selected location rather than for sporadic reuse on an outing. Spotting scopes, some of which are capable of 50x magnifications, are very popular for nature and wildlife viewing, especially birding. They are classically mounted on a tripod so that the spotting scope stands as steady as possible, and can then be used soulfully so as not to spook sensitive animals. Thanks to the high degree of magnification, you are closer to the animals than ever before, despite the high distance.
If you buy SWAROVSKI OPTIK binoculars, you will also receive practical accessories in addition to the glass. For example, the scope of delivery includes cleaning agents for cleaning and maintaining your binoculars or carrying straps and belts for easier handling of heavier binoculars.
With SWAROVSKI OPTIK binoculars, you can experience exciting moments in nature without having to miss even one of them because the distance is too great. We hope you enjoy your next adventure!
