As best as I can tell, the names of the various Swift binoculars refect their intended use. For example, Swift Audubon - birding, Swift Skipper - boating, Swift Holiday - all purpose observation, Swift Saratoga - horse racing, etc. The Swift Neptune, arguably one of the two best Swift binoculars ever made, therefore, remains a mystery as the binocular is neither waterproof and, with a 7 x 35 configuration, is not a nautical glass. Does anyone know the origin of the name?
