Remarks:

Japan-made Nikon Monarch HG 10×42 is one of the best current upper middle class binoculars in their class, with a field of view that is wider than most other 10×42. It was introduced in 2016 as a sucessor to Nikon’s HG-L  model (see separate post “Nikon HG-L 10×42”, https://binocular.ch/nikon-hg-l-10×42/).
