Swarovski SLC Binoculars

Official Specification

Handy, ergonomic and exceptionally versatile - the SLC binoculars by Swarovski Optik are among the most-used binoculars ever. But the SLC series can now offer a multitude of tangible benefits. SLCnew - this means an innovative design with improved ergonomics - for greater versatility and functionality.

With their reliable, high-quality optical system and rugged construction, the SLC binoculars are among the world’s most popular high-end binoculars. The thumb rests on the underside and the depressions on the top side of the easy to handle rubber armouring ensure they are secure and comfortable in the hand. The diversity of models among the SLC binoculars offers the right solution for every purpose.

In the SLC series, Swarovski Optik uses high-quality technologies such as the SWAROBRIGHT coating for maximum colour fidelity across the whole light spectrum or the SWAROTOP and SWARODUR coatings for bright, high-contrast images.

The non-stick effect of the SWAROCLEAN coating on the outer surface of the lens makes cleaning objective and eyepiece lenses considerably easier, above all when removing dried-on mineral residues (e.g. water marks due to condensation), insect repellents and tree resin. The lenses require less intensive cleaning which significantly increases the longevity of optical products.

SLC 30
This lightweight, compact binocular with a rugged construction is absolutely ideal for all nature observation, sport and cultural events. Very popular as an entry-level binocular.

SLC 50
The SLC 50 models are characterised by their 7x, 8x and 10x magnification features. These high-performance binoculars with a high-quality 50 mm objective lens have excellent light-gathering qualities ensuring optimum observation even when light conditions are poor.

SLC 56
The large 56er models show off their strengths particularly when used in adverse light conditions and are thus excellent for observation in the transition period between dusk and night.
