SLC binoculars by Swarovski Optik are among the most-used binoculars in the world. Because they are so versatile, so robust and represent such outstanding value for money, to date we have sold almost 300,000 of them. The new, even more functional generation of this classic binocular is available from May 2005. Swarovski Optik has improved all models in design and ergonomic terms and is therefore able to offer its customers many new, innovative benefits with this series of binocular.

The improved handling of the SLCnew binocular is the first tangible benefit. The new model rests so well in the hand you won't want to put it down. The completely new ergonomic features in this category of binocular are to be found mainly in the perfect weight balance and the new depressions on the top side of the instrument. These features, now available on all SLCnew binoculars, are in addition to the already tried and tested thumb depressions on the underside. The armoring, made from high-grade vulcanized rubber, is also especially comfortable to handle. Soft and non-slip, for a much pleasanter observation experience.

In addition, there is a huge weight saving with some of the SLCnew binoculars. The new SLC 56 is 50g lighter than its predecessor. Despite that, the new binocular is even more robust, more durable and more reliable, and can boast a higher quality level in practically all fields.

As well as the new design benefits, the SLCnew binocular has another incredible innovation which ensures unimagined functionality with regard to carrying strap attachments. The new quick-lock system allows the carrying strap to be attached quickly and easily. The length can then be adjusted in just a few seconds with one click. Whether you are out stalking or out walking, this feature ensures a very high level of convenience.

Swarovski Optik has equipped all SLC binoculars with these new and beneficial design features.
