Need a good binocular but don't want to bother with a heavy, cumbersome model? Turn to the Swarovski Tyrol 8x20 pocket binocular, which offers the same sophisticated inner workings as many of Swarovski's treasured premium optics but fits comfortably in almost any jacket pocket. The Tyrol 8x20 boasts an ultra-precise roof prism system with a P-coating, letting you enjoy high-resolution, contrast-rich images from a distance. The complicated 16-lens system, meanwhile, features an 8x magnification that produces an extremely large field of view, so you can view everything from natural landscapes to sporting events. And thanks to the individually adjustable eyecups, the Tyrol 8x20 is even suitable for eyeglass wearers.
Each binocular in the Pocket series is well-built and protected, with a Swarobright coating that ensures maximum color fidelity across the entire light spectrum and Swarotop and Swarodur coatings that produce bright, high-contrast images. Finally, the binocular comes with a stylish leather carrying case that looks and feels great in the hand.

About Swarovski Optik
Although founded in 1949, Swarovski Optik's roots actually trace all the way back to 1895, when Austrian Daniel Swarovski--who invented the world's first electric grinding machine for jewelry stones--established the family-owned Swarovski Crystal in the province of Tyrol. Since then, the name Swarovski has become synonymous worldwide with the clearest crystal, precision grinding, and a brilliant spirit of innovation, as the original enterprise continued branching out into additional lines of business.
Swarovski Optik owes its rise to Wilhelm Swarovski, son of the original founder and an avid hobby astronomer, who decided to build his own improved binocular in 1935 at a mere 17 years of age. With access to the specialized glass production and finishing technologies already used to manufacture jewelry stones in his father's factory, Wilhelm managed to develop a novel prism fabrication and grinding process that he applied in constructing his first 6x30 binocular. Wilhelm went on to found Swarovski Optik KG in Absam, Tyrol, in 1949, thus laying the foundation for a sports optics company with a global reputation. His company's first serial product, the Habicht 7x42, is still an industry standard in the field of hunting optics and continues to be produced in the best tradition of its founder.
