NL Pure 10x42

The NL Pure 10x42 are high-quality all-round binoculars that reveal their strengths particularly in mountain environments. With 10x magnification, the binoculars identify many details even at long distances with a comparatively low weight. In combination with a 42 mm objective lens diameter, they strike the perfect balance of high magnification, large field of view, and detailed images. This combination makes the binoculars ideal companions for observing at twilight or on cloudy days.

What to consider when choosing your binoculars

Objective lens diameter

The objective lens diameter specifies how much light can enter the optics. This makes it a key factor in an instrument’s performance, for example, in twilight. The bigger the objective lens diameter, the more light the objective lens can capture. The darker the surroundings, the larger the objective lens diameter needs to be. Check the precise product name as the number after the ‘x’ specifies the objective lens diameter in millimeters. For example, a device with the suffix 10x42 has an objective lens with a diameter of 42 mm.

Magnification

The magnification specifies the factor by which an object appears to be closer in comparison with the actual distance. The higher the magnification, the closer the object seems to be. However, a higher magnification also means a smaller field of view. Check the precise product name as the number in front of the ‘x’ specifies the magnification. For example, 10x42 is a device with 10x magnification. 

Field of view

The field of view describes the size of the image section that can be seen through the optics. This is specified either in meters (width) at a distance of 1000 meters (m/1000m), or feet (width) at a distance of 1000 yards (ft/1000 yds), or as an angle (degrees). The higher the magnification, the smaller the field of view.
Binoculars have a large field of view, which means you can see a wide area. Spotting scopes have a higher magnification, which makes the field of view much smaller, but you can see more detail.

Objective lens diameter

The objective lens diameter specifies how much light can enter the optics. This makes it a key factor in an instrument’s performance, for example, in twilight. The bigger the objective lens diameter, the more light the objective lens can capture. The darker the surroundings, the larger the objective lens diameter needs to be. Check the precise product name as the number after the ‘x’ specifies the objective lens diameter in millimeters. For example, a device with the suffix 10x42 has an objective lens with a diameter of 42 mm.

Shortest focusing distance

The shortest focusing distance specifies how close an object needs to be to see it clearly with the optics. Between this value and infinity, it is possible to focus the image.

Product description

See more in every situation – that’s the motto of the NL Pure 10x42. With their seemingly endless field of view without the distinctive black edge, these binoculars reveal many details – even at long distances. They give the observer the impressive sensation of being at the center of the image. This makes the binoculars ideal for observing in mountain terrain. With an objective lens diameter of 42 mm, the binoculars are perfect for observing in low light at dawn or dusk. The wasp waist ensures optimum handling during extended use and also allows small hands to easily grip the binoculars. An optional forehead rest ensures additional comfort and sharp images.

The NL Pure 10x42 are ideal for the following purposes:

  • All-round binoculars for almost every outdoor scenario.

  • Ideal for mountain terrain

  • For observing in low light at dawn or dusk

  • For people looking for high magnification combined with a moderate weight

Overview of the NL Pure 10x42:

  • 10x magnification

  • 133 m (145.5 yds) field of view at a distance of 1,000 m (1,093.6 yds).

  • Weight: 840 g (29.6 oz)

  • Dimensions: 158 x 131 x 71 mm (6.2 x 5.2 x 2.8 in)

For distortion-free images, SWAROVSKI OPTIK has also opted for the SWAROVISION technology for the NL Pure 10x42. The innovative field flattener lenses offset the lens curvature to provide razor-sharp images.

Brief description of the SWAROVISION technology

The key feature of the ground-breaking SWAROVISION technology is the field flattener lenses which offset the curvature of the field of view and provide edge sharpness. This means the complete image stays sharp from the middle of the field of view all the way to the edges. There is no need to refocus if your eye moves in the image, you can immediately see every detail in absolute clarity. The special coating on the lenses in combination with the inert gas filling ensures color fidelity.

The NL Pure series

The binoculars in the NL Pure series offer an enormous field of view all the way to the edges. Thanks to the wasp waist, each optical device sits ergonomically in your hand, making it a trusted companion even over extended periods of use. The amazing quality provided by SWAROVISION and the field flattener lenses guarantees precise and razor-sharp images with no distortion.

Expert Insights

Swarovski Optik products have been at the forefront of optical technology for over 50 years.
I’ve been birdwatching since I was 17, when I attended a WWF camp and one of the participants had a field guide to the birds of Europe and a pair of binoculars. At 30, I founded EBN Italy – the Italian birdwatching network.

I chose the NL Pure binocular and the ATX spotting scope for long-range observations as they allow me to appreciate all details and can be easily connected to camera and phone to create memories when birdwatching. I find both products perfect also for limited light conditions as they allow me to see more in every situation without interfering with birds.
Being in the wilderness allows me to recharge and to give a different meaning of life. Observing the endurance and the resilience of living things gives me a completely different perspective of my struggles. I really care about wilderness, and I strongly believe human beings have a great responsibility to protect and respect it as we are just a little fragment of it.

I use 10x42 & 10x32 NL Pure for travel. If I need a closer look I use 95mm scope. In the words of Tina Turner they are 'simply the best'. The clarity, lowlight capabilities and aftercare is second to none. I have used this equipment for over 30 years. The optics are always by my side on every wildlife adventure. I love being out in the wild, from my home in Yorkshire or Amazon jungle. My life as a wildlife artist and filmmaker is all about my obsession with nature, uncovering new behaviour and recording it in great detail. I get a real buzz when I see a new species or record footage that hasn't been captured before.

I chose SWAROVSKI OPTIK because of their impressive clarity and quality of optics. Their ergonomic design and fantastic grip make them easy to handle whenever I go birdwatching, whether in the ocean or in the forest. The lightweight build and overall performance truly enhance my experience.
My passion for the outdoors is deeply tied to my love for birds. Observing their behaviors and vibrant colors brings me immense joy and a profound sense of tranquility. Each encounter not only fuels my excitement for discovery but also inspires my commitment to protecting their natural habitats.

I love Swarovski binoculars - I own the 8 x 32 NL Pure and have the 10 x 42 NL Pure on loan. They are light, easy to use, with superb optics and great aftercare service! I also own the ATS scope which is superb.
I am a lifelong birder who has been lucky enough to turn my hobby into my work - as a wildlife filmmaker for the BBC and now as an author of bestselling books on birds and other wildlife. I love birding both close to home and around the world, and the company of my fellow enthusiasts.

    I don’t know why I waited so long before I ordered them. The clarity is incredible. I did lose one of my eye cups on my last day in Alaska☹️

    Manakin N. T.Tunja, CO | 3 mesi fa

    Great equipment, i hopen that plastic this time is better in quality

    Patricia S.United States | 4 mesi fa

    Very bright, excellent focus wheel, not too fast not too slow, but best feature in comparison to all the best bins is the hand grip. For a woman with smaller hands the grip is very comfortable and the weight is balanced so they feel much lighter. I’m very satisfied!

    Beatrix S.Austria | 6 mesi fa

    Perfect binoculars that sit well in the hand.
