Commemorating 75 years of premium Swarovski optics, these limited edition 10x30 CL Companion Habicht Binoculars feature optical tubes clad in leather, just like the original Habicht model introduced in 1949. Swarovski's proprietary coating systems deliver high-contrast images with accurate color and virtually zero distortion. The 8x magnification enables detailed observations of distant subjects, while the generous apparent angle of view produces an immersive visual experience. Habicht is the German name for the northern goshawk famously depicted on the company's products, and the Habicht mountain in Austria was a favorite destination for Wilhelm Swarovski himself.
