With Swarovski Optik spotting scopes, you'll always have a balcony view. The Swarovski STS 65 spotting scope, for instance, offers such features as a fine long-distance resolution, an extremely ergonomic design, and unique functionality, turning every observation into an adventure. The aluminum STS 65 features a 65mm objective lens diameter and excellent light-gathering qualities, letting you observe objects in razor-sharp detail even at high magnifications. The straight-angle design, meanwhile, makes it easy to locate and follow birds in flight, or to observe from a car without being seen. Best of all for viewers on the move, the scope's aluminum housing is compact and lightweight, making it a great choice for birdwatchers or travelers who frequently change locations.
Each spotting scope in the Swarovski Optik collection is well built and protected from scratches or dents. The scopes' enhanced Swarodur or Swarotop coatings guarantee lifelike color reproduction and outstanding image brightness even at dusk. The scopes also feature a nonstick Swaroclean coating on the outer surface of each lens. The coating--which helps extend the lifespan of your lens--is particularly effective when you need to remove dried-on mineral residues (such as water marks from condensation), insect repellents, and tree resin. Finally, each Swarovski scope is dustproof, waterproof, and submersible to 13 feet. Swarovski eyepieces are sold separately.

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.
