Sporting an ultra-wide field of view, long eye relief, and wide exit pupil—all in a compact magnesium housing—the Swarovski 8x42 NL Pure Binoculars
also combines extra-low dispersion (HD) glass elements and a range of
proprietary optical coatings to create a set of glasses that delivers
impressive image quality and durability. In keeping with its tradition
of high-performance optics, Swarovski uses highly reflective roof prisms
and fully multicoated fluorite-containing HD glass lenses to deliver
superior image quality. A field-flattener lens system complements the
glass and coatings to keep the edges of the view crisp and sharp. The
resulting views are rich with detail and saturated with lifelike color
with exceptional contrast and resolution.
In addition to its high-transmission optical system, Swarovski also
equips the NL Pure binocular with a range of features that improve the
handling experience. A re-engineered bridge and focus system provide
smooth movement in a short configuration, so you have more of the
optical tubes to grip. Covering the magnesium-alloy housing is
Swarovski's iconic rubber armoring that provides impact protection and a
positive grip where they are needed most. The housing is
nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof to a depth of 13
feet, and resistant to internal fogging. Additional features like
tethered front and rear caps, a soap and brush cleaning kit, carrying
case, and neck strap round out the thoughtful details that make the NL
Pure stand out.
