IN NATURE, WE EXPERIENCE VERY PRECIOUS MOMENTS

IN TUNE WITH NATURE. Calmness, persistence and patience are the key to success. Eventually nature will reveal its overwhelming beauty and magnificence. For this alone, it is worthwhile to stay alert and sharpen your senses.

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. A view, an experience, unique and splendid.

The joy of seeing nature keep its promise makes your heartbeat quicken and your eyes focus with conscious precision.

And the best of all: you are ready, ready for just this moment, for seeing is knowing.

“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 100Â % 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.

Cornelia Flatschart, Inspection and Approval SWAROVSKI OPTIK

VISION 7

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 IMAGE PERIPHERY FIELD FLATTENER

image periphery, enabling the observer to enjoy, for the first time, a perfect image without any distortion. The exceptional image quality over the entire field of view eliminates the need for constant refocusing and allows the tiniest detail to be registered in an instant.

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.

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 100Â % 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 observers of nature. This is why we know exactly what matters: experiencing, seeing, identifying and discovering the beauty of nature. It is our goal to develop the most brilliant binoculars – by observers of nature for observers of nature.

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.

SHORTEST FOCUSING DISTANCE The new focusing wheel with its unique combination of hard and soft components represents stability and grip. The focusing mechanism is particularly reliable, allowing you to operate the EL SWAROVISION comfortably and precisely. Only two complete turns of the focusing wheel (EL 42 SWAROVISION) take you from infinity to the shortest ever focusing distance of 1.5 m / 4.9 ft.
