Swarovski NL Pure 10x42 Binoculars
Authorised Dealer
One with the moment.
The NL Pure 10x42 brings long-range detail into an exceptionally wide 133 m field of view. SWAROVISION optics, 91% light transmission and a sculpted ergonomic body make it a powerful all-round binocular for open country, mountain hunting and demanding wildlife observation.
NL Pure 10x42 Green
10× detail without tunnel vision.
A 7.6° true field and 70° apparent field place the subject inside a broad, natural-looking viewing window. Field-flattener lenses maintain sharp contours toward the edge, while premium lens and prism coatings support high contrast, colour fidelity and dependable low-light performance.
10× long-range detail
Resolve distant structure, horn tips, feather detail and terrain features with the reach of ten-power magnification.
133 m field of view
See 133 metres across at 1,000 metres—399 feet at 1,000 yards—for faster searching and easier tracking.
42 mm / 91%
A versatile 42 mm objective and 91% light transmission deliver a bright image without the bulk of a larger objective.
2.0 m close focus
Move smoothly from near subjects at 2.0 metres to infinity, with 18 mm eye relief for a comfortable full view.
Designed around what you see.
The compact roof-prism system and narrowed central body reduce visual distraction and hand fatigue. The result is a binocular that feels less like equipment and more like a direct connection to the landscape.
The NL Pure family is shaped for a secure, natural grip during extended observation.
A broad viewing window makes it easier to search broken mountain terrain and retain context.
High transmission and faithful colour support confident identification in changing light.
Optional FRP forehead rest adds a third contact point for steadier viewing.
Premium 10x42 observation performance in a balanced, weather-sealed magnesium body.
Keep the whole scene in sight.
At 10×, the NL Pure still delivers a true field of 7.6°—133 m at 1,000 m. That breadth makes it quicker to find a subject, easier to follow movement and simpler to retain environmental context.
The 70° apparent field creates an immersive image in which the edge of the viewing circle is barely perceptible.
Sharp, high-contrast and faithful to colour.
Field-flattener lenses support edge-to-edge definition, helping fine structures remain legible across the image. Fluoride-containing HD glass elements reduce colour fringing, while SWAROTOP anti-reflective lens coatings and the SWAROBRIGHT prism system maximise transmission and colour fidelity. SWARODUR adds a durable protective coating to exposed optical surfaces.
The payoff is a neutral, detailed view that stays useful in difficult light—from first light in the hills to the final minutes of evening observation.
Made to disappear into your hands.
The narrowed central body and oval recess between thumb and forefinger create a naturally secure hold. A balanced magnesium chassis keeps the 42 mm binocular composed in the hands, while the large central focusing wheel remains easy to reach without shifting grip.
For extended glassing, the optional FRP forehead rest can create a third point of contact and reduce small movements—particularly useful at 10×.
Mountain-ready construction.
A compact magnesium housing, protective rubber armouring and inert-gas filling make the NL Pure ready for changing temperatures, heavy rain and demanding field use. It is submersion-tight to 4 m and specified to operate from −25°C to +55°C.
Adjust it precisely to you.
Four eyecup positions, generous eye relief, independent diopter correction and a broad interpupillary range make it straightforward to obtain one clean, shadow-free viewing circle.
Everything where it should be.
The numbered markers now stay locked to the binocular image at every screen size. Hover a marker, move keyboard focus to it, or tap it on a touch screen to reveal the corresponding part name.

A precise view in a few steps.
Start with the eyecups and interpupillary distance, then calibrate the diopter. These settings establish the complete viewing field and keep both eyes sharply focused.
1. Set the eyecups
Without glasses, twist counterclockwise fully out. With glasses, twist clockwise fully in. Use either intermediate stop if it gives a cleaner full field.
2. Set eye spacing
Move the binocular halves at the central hinge until both fields merge into one circular image with no dark shadows around the edge.
3. Calibrate the diopter
Focus the left eye with the main wheel, then keep that setting and use the diopter control to sharpen the image for the right eye.
4. Focus near to far
Turn the central focusing wheel to move continuously from the 2.0 m minimum focus distance through to infinity.
5. Manage the lens covers
Pull the objective covers down for viewing. They can be removed and the supplied filler pieces inserted when an uncovered front end is preferred.
6. Attach the carrying strap
Seat the strap-loop connectors securely in the side fittings and check both connections before carrying the binocular in the field.

Great knowledge and help in choosing which one
New ZealandSwarovski nl pure 10*42
Great service, would highly recommend. I purchased my binoculars one morning and had them in my hands by the following morning. The binoculars are how you’d dream them would be. Top notch product
New ZealandSwarovski NL Pure 10x42
Great team, took me through range of pros and cons for various optic options. Enjoyed the banter. Took the NLs out to top of Rangitoto last weekend, could see our street about 10km away I guess, beautiful edge to edge detail and wonderful colour for a pretty cloudy day. Cheers

This is our second pair of these binoculars so that we can have a pair each. We bought the first pair a few months ago and are so impressed we justified the second pair. Both were upgrades from much cheaper bins. Friends have the older EL 8x42 (which are excellent in their own right) but the NL is worth the extra money. The 10x42 NL has the same field of view as the EL 8x42 so you get slightly more magnification without FOV loss. The NL are brighter than the EL as well. The NL also has a better shaped design (bridge and focus near the rear and tapered barrels) making them easier to use that the EL. Adding the optional headrest also helps when looking at the same spot for periods of time (such as nest watching).
