Product Description
Crystal clear, true color and high-contrast, low weight and non slip ergonomics for fatigue-free extremely comfortable observation: the new SLC HD combines all the features required to create truly excellent binoculars. A classic redesigned and perfected
With their reliable, high-quality optical system and rugged construction, Swarovski’s Slim Light Compact (SLC) 42 HD binoculars are among the world’s most popular high-end optics. The SLC 10×42 model–which boasts a 10x magnification and a 42mm objective lens diameter–offers excellent image quality and maximum operating comfort, making it perfect for users who demand viewing precision throughout the day and well into dusk. This SLC series binocular sports a Swarobright coating, which produces maximum color fidelity across the entire light spectrum, and Swarotop and Swarodur coatings, which are built to create bright, high-contrast images. As a result, you can easily observe and identify birds of prey, coastal birds, or ringed birds even in low-light conditions. The binoculars also feature a nonstick Swaroclean coating on the outer surface of each lens. The coating–which helps extend the lifespan of your optics–is particularly effective when you need to remove dried-on mineral residues (such as water marks from condensation), insect repellents, and tree resin.
The true stars of the SLC 42 HD binocular, however, are the high-performance, fluoride-containing HD optics, which minimize the color fringing that’s inevitable with conventional glass. The HD lenses produce high-contrast, natural-color images with razor-sharp outlines, bringing you even closer to the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. The SLC 42 HD also stands out in comparison to other binoculars due to its larger exit pupil distance. This lets eyeglass wearers enjoy the entire wide-angle field of view and crystal-clear images. And helping tie it altogether is a redesigned focusing wheel, which offers a unique combination of hard and soft components that guarantee stability and grip, whatever the weather. Just a single turn sets the SLC 42 HD to all hunting distances, so you can quickly obtain a sharp image and reliably identify your game.
Other details include a close focusing distance of up to 6 feet; a built-in diopter adjustment of +/-4 dpt to compensate for different visual acuity in each eye; removable twist-in eyecups that are individually adjustable in three stages; and a compact, rugged, slender construction that fits conveniently in the housing. Also outfitted with a redesigned magnesium housing that makes the binocular significantly lighter than its predecessor, the SLC 42 HD is ideal for fatigue-free, precise observation even when wearing gloves.

About Swarovski Optik
Although founded in 1949, Swarovski Optik’s roots actually trace all the way back to 1895, when Austrian Daniel Swarovski–who invented the world’s first electric grinding machine for jewelry stones–established the family-owned Swarovski Crystal in the province of Tyrol. Since then, the name Swarovski has become synonymous worldwide with the clearest crystal, precision grinding, and a brilliant spirit of innovation, as the original enterprise continued branching out into additional lines of business. Swarovski Optik owes its rise to Wilhelm Swarovski, son of the original founder and an avid hobby astronomer, who decided to build his own improved binocular in 1935 at a mere 17 years of age. With access to the specialized glass production and finishing technologies already used to manufacture jewelry stones in his father’s factory, Wilhelm managed to develop a novel prism fabrication and grinding process that he applied in constructing his first 6×30 binocular. Wilhelm went on to found Swarovski Optik KG in Absam, Tyrol, in 1949, thus laying the foundation for a sports optics company with a global reputation. His company’s first serial product, the Habicht 7×42, is still an industry standard in the field of hunting optics and continues to be produced in the best tradition of its founder.
