Trade-up to a New SWAROVSKI OPTIK Binocular!

Purchase an EL 42 or 50 mm SWAROVISION or SLC 42 mm HD Binocular and send Swarovski your old EL (non-SWAROVISION) or SLC-NEU 10x42 (non-HD) Binocular to receive up to $900* back from SWAROVSKI OPTIK NORTH AMERICA thru 6/30/2012.

Swarovski has announced a trade in program for their EL and SLC binoculars thru 6/30/2012:
If you buy a new EL 42mm or 50mm Swarovision or a new SLC 8x42 HD or SLC 10x42 HD you can trade in your old EL 8.5x42, 10x42 EL or SLC 10x42 (Only the dark Green version with a serial #D7450 or more current).
The way this will work is you buy your new binocular from us and then contact Swarovski for an RA# and send your binocular in to them. Your binocular must be functional.
They will allow:
$700.00 for a 10x42 SLC-neu
$850.00 for an 8.5x42 EL
$900.00 for a 10x42 EL
Swarovski will then send you a payment.
My advise, before you call us to order your new binocular (as everyone hates issues with product trade ins) is to call Swarovski @ 1-800-426-3089 and speak with someone in customer service to make sure your trade in binocular is eligible for the rebate. Always a great idea to check and confirm ahead of time, rather than to find out after you make the purchase that your binocular is too old to qualify.
IMO, this is a wonderful program and Swarovski is stepping up to the plate to make upgrading your existing Swarovski binocular a breeze.

Doug,

I am curious about two things. 1) how can I definitely tell if my current pair of EL's does not have the Swarovision and 2) is it truly that much better? meaning am I going to be able to tell the difference?

Thanks for your help.

The Swarovisions are the latest deries of EL and say Swarovsion on the binocular. Yes, they are a flat field optical design and are optically superior
