In a recent press release from Cranston, Rhode Island, Swarovski Optik announces that their new CL Companion Binoculars have been selected as one of the Best of the Best for 2011 by Field & Stream Magazine on the new release . Given out annually, Field & Stream’s Best of the Best is awarded to the best new products in the hunting and shooting market, and is considered one of the industry’s top awards.
I’m no binoculars expert, so I liked watching this YouTube video about them.
The Companion CL Binoculars aren’t quite as pretty as the sparkly ones shown on the Swarovski crystal brand’s web site, but the award likely says it all. From what I could find on the internet, prices are: $999 for the 10×30 and $929 for the 8×30.
The Optik CL Binoculars are featured in the September, 2011 issue of Field & Stream
This is terrific news for Swarovski! Congratulations on a well-developed new set of binoculars!
