Does any one recall Swarovski issuing a 8x20 limited edition B-283 binocular?

They seem to have sterling silver trim as they are hallmarked 925

This is the Century serie (only 1000 were made) from Swarovski for their celebration of the 100-year anniversary (1895-1995).

Originally it came in a gift wrap box, including a special leather pouch and separate century brochure.
It's a collectors item (I've got # 925 and 706).

Congrets!!

Thanks for the info , sadly the owners before me did not keep any of the packaging . Odd

Does yours have a B in the serial number ? As I have seen the same binoculars for sale in England with an A in the serial number.

One of the eye cups has grit deep down inside so they will go back to sona soon , it is a shame they do not have the screw off eye cups like my el 8x32

Yes it has the B number.
The current pocket models do have screw off eye cups, according tot the Swarovski philosophy: Improve the Best;)

PS

Down here one model reached 1.000,00+ euro (complete).
