Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, is pleased to present the new MONARCH X binoculars, superior models in the globally popular MONARCH series. These new binoculars feature outstanding optical quality further enhanced by a large 45 mm objective diameter and innovative dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating.
