SLC 42 HD
Crystal clear, ergonomic and robust: The new SLC 42 HD binoculars from SWAROVSKI OPTIK
Versatility and robustness are the outstanding characteristics of the popular SLC binoculars from SWAROVSKI OPTIK. SWAROVSKI OPTIK is building on the success of this product line by creating a new, robust, ergonomic SLC model with crystal clear HD optics and a new focusing mechanism.
SWAROVSKI OPTIK has enhanced its successful series of SLC binoculars by adding new, fluoride-containing HD lenses to both the 8x42 and 10x42 models. This special lens system reduces colour fringing and provides high-contrast images in true-to-life colour. The high-performance HD optics guarantee high-quality, crystal clear images with razor-sharp outlines, allowing users to spot the most intricate and fascinating details of the plant and animal world.
In addition to the HD optics, the SLC 42 HD models feature special optimised coatings such as SWARODUR, SWAROTOP and SWAROBRIGHT on lenses and prisms, which support the effect of the HD lenses and allow users to observe nature at its finest, even in low light conditions and twilight. In addition, the SWAROCLEAN coating on the eye piece and objective lenses creates a non-stick effect, making it much easier to clean off stubborn dirt such as water marks and tree resin.
From near to far in an instant with a new focusing mechanism
With its unique combination of hard and soft components, the new focusing wheel offers excellent grip and stability in any weather conditions. Thanks to its focusing mechanism, which is particularly smooth and free from backlash, the SLC 42 HD SWAROVISION can be operated accurately even when wearing gloves. Just a turn and a half takes you from infinity to a close range focus of less than two metres.
The new SLC 42 HD binoculars also have a range of vision correction options. The new focusing mechanism provides correction for impaired vision of at least 6 dpt, while the built-in dioptre adjustment of +/- 4 can compensate for different visual acuity in each eye.
The new SLC 42 HD also enables spectacle-wearers to enjoy an exceptional wide-angle field of view and benefit from the crystal clear images produced by these binoculars. The SLC 8x42 HD, for instance, gives a 136 metre field of view, providing the best overview in its class. The stable, removable twist-in eyecups are individually adjustable in three stages.
Lightweight magnesium housing and optimised ergonomics
The new, hard-wearing magnesium housing makes the new SLC 42 HD models lighter than their predecessors. This feature is particularly valuable during long periods of observation or on demanding expeditions. Despite the light weight of around just 800 grams, the magnesium housing makes the binoculars particularly robust without affecting their optical quality. Thanks to its slim, compact design and the high-grip rubber armouring with distinctive thumb rests, the binoculars are comfortable to use in any situation.
BALLISTIC TURRET - NEW Z6 MODELS
SWAROVSKI OPTIK ballistic turret now available for two more Z6 models
SWAROVSKI OPTIK has chosen to equip two more models from its successful Z6 rifle scope series with a ballistic tower in light of increasing interest. This feature allows hunters to "stay on the spot" when sighting at various distances. Hunters can individually select, effortlessly set and then easily readjust the required distances.
Since the product was first unveiled in 2007, SWAROVSKI OPTIK has created eight different Z6 models for discerning hunters. This successful rifle scope series with its 6 x zoom offers the hunter a field of view that is up to 50 percent larger, a magnification range that is up to 50 percent higher and an eye relief distance that is up to 50 percent longer. These characteristics make the Z6 rifle scopes suitable for a wide range of applications and the perfect companion for almost any hunting situation.
These SWAROVSKI OPTIK rifle scope models are available in a range of versions with different illumination, reticle and SR rail features. Until recently, it was possible to purchase the four high-magnification rifle scopes in the Z6 series with a ballistics turret. Due to sustained demand, the company has added two more Z6 models to its range of rifle scopes available with a ballistics turret. As of January 2010, it will also be possible to fit the Z6(i) 1.7-10x42 and the Z6(i) 2-12x50 with a ballistics turret. The Ballistic Turret can also be retrofitted to existing models.
Individual settings for any range
An accurate aiming point is a prerequisite for precise long-range shots. The SWAROVSKI OPTIK turret enables you to "stay on the spot" when sighting in at different distances. However, as every hunter has different requirements, SWAROVSKI OPTIK focused closely during the development phase on enabling the desired distances to be selected individually, set effortlessly and then readjusted.
The ballistic turret can be mounted by the hunter in a few simple steps. A specially developed ballistics programme calculates the required values (number of clicks) for the desired distances. Brief, concise operating instructions supplemented by 3D mounting instructions and a short film on the SWAROVSKI OPTIK homepage make installation easy and ensure that the ballistic turret is quickly ready for use. In addition, SWAROVSKI OPTIK’s own, updated ballistics programme, designed for the ballistics turret, together with the distance reticles (TDS, BR, 4A-300), can be found at
