SWAROVSKI OPTIK launched their first compact binoculars way back in 1989, they have since become some of the company’s most popular products and evolved into the ideal companions for a wide range of activities. Now SWAROVSKI OPTIK has given the popular CL Pocket a whole new look.
The CL Pocket is a folding compact binocular with exceptional optical quality. It offers maximum viewing comfort, even for long periods, and fits perfectly in your hand as showcased in the image above. From February 15, 2021, this compact yet powerful all-rounder is available from specialist retailers.
The new CL Pocket binoculars will likely most appeal to people who enjoy watching birds and wildlife but also like to travel light. For instance, while undertaking a gentle hike, a tough day in the mountains, or an adventurous journey - packing away small and light is generally a good thing. These new compact binoculars promise to deliver world leading performance in the compact class and the ideal companion for all outdoor enthusiasts.
The high-precision optics also guarantee that you can observe wildlife in a relaxed manner, without your eyes getting tired, while ensuring that you can still see every last detail. The binoculars have a huge field of view and are 100% suitable for eyeglass wearers. With outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness and high transmission, you are guaranteed high-contrast, sharp, colour-true images.
Always to hand
Absolute viewing comfort is guaranteed thanks to its intelligent, ergonomic design and easy-grip protective housing. Weighing in at just 350 g (12.3 oz) and 110 mm (4.3 in) long, the CL Pocket slips easily into a small bag. Its modern design in two colour ways, green and anthracite, can be combined with different accessory sets to suit your particular needs.
Made for the outdoors
The rugged design with improved double bridge and sturdy aluminium housing protect the finely adjusted optics, while the inert gas filling stops water and dust from getting in. These design features, combined with proper care, make the CL Pocket an extremely durable and sustainable product.
Protect what you love – crystal-clear optics thanks to regular cleaning
The new CSO cleaning set optics is ideal for gently but thoroughly cleaning all optical lenses and is available as an accessory to the new CL Pocket. The set consists of a lens cleaner, cleaning brush, dust blower, and two micro fibre cloths, all packed in a smart bag. The micro fibre cloths and the bag itself can be washed at 40° in the washing machine. The glass bottle with lens cleaner can be refilled at selected specialist retailers. Plastics have largely been replaced by alternative materials such as bamboo and glass.

The CL Pocket is available in 8x25 or 10x25 magnification. It is supplied with a field bag, carrying strap, micro fibre cloth, and eyepiece cover. The recommended retail price (RRP) starts at 780 euros.
