Your classic Swarovski companion for clear observations in the Engadine
The used Swarovski EL 8.5x42 Gen I is a timeless premium classic from the first EL generation – in condition C (significant signs of use) and with strap and eyepiece caps. A slight scratch on the edge of the left objective lens does not affect the viewing experience in any way and remains invisible during observation. With 8.5x magnification, 42mm lenses and legendary Swarovski optics, it delivers edge-to-edge sharp, high-contrast images and a wide field of view – ideal for chamois in Zuoz, birds at Lake Sils or wide Alpine panoramas near St. Moritz. At Optik Foto Rutz, we carefully inspect every used pair of binoculars for optics and mechanics – and we offer a 30-day warranty on all used items against defects that impair functionality, in accordance with our terms and conditions!
