Swarovski 12x42 NL Pure Binoculars (Green)

Ideal for use in wide open and expansive terrain, like the plains of the American West, where observing game and other subjects at extremely long distances is common, the Swarovski 12x42 NL Pure Binocular boasts an ultra-wide field of view and exceptional eye relief in a compact magnesium housing. The NL Pure further employs extra-low dispersion (HD) glass elements and a range of proprietary optical coatings that, when combined with its other performance features, creates 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 colour with exceptional contrast and resolution.

In addition to its high-transmission optical system, Swarovski also equips the NL Pure binocular with a range of design elements 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 armouring 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 3,9m, 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.

Optical Performance

• Powerful 12x magnification 
• 42mm objective lenses draw in the light required to extend its use in challenging conditions without being too bulky or heavy
• Compact roof prism light path keeps the optical tubes thin for easier handling and packing
• Field-flattener lenses eliminate spherical aberration & edge distortion and correct off-axis comas & astigmatism for crisp and sharp images across the entire field of view
• HD Optical System: Fluorite-containing glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations to enhance colour fidelity and brightness
• SWAROBRIGHT, WAROTOP, SWARODUR coatings
• Ultra-wide 71° apparent angle of view greatly reduces the appearance of distracting hand shake while presenting sweeping views of the scene in front of you—providing an immersive and near panoramic observational experience that requires very little head movement to see everything
• Proprietary Swarovski Lens Coatings:
• Highly reflective SWAROBRIGHT mirror prism coating optimizes colour fidelity, contrast, and resolution
• Anti-reflection SWAROTOP lens coating reduces glare and improves contrast
• Scratch-resistant SWARODUR lens coatings protect the lenses to ensure views remain crisp and sharp
