The Nikon Monarchs shown on your link to LL Bean look like the standard Monarch III with the dielectric coating indtroduced in 2010.

The SHE binos were a marketing tie in with Pam Zaitz who owns SHE Safari & SHE Outdoor Apparel, and is one of Nikons hunting pros. Her line of outdoor clothing is cut for women and rather pricey.

Tom,
Thanks for that information. And what a SHE she is!
Except for being a female big game hunter, which I would imagine is heavily male dominated, there is nothing gender ambiguous about her (don't open this link if your wife is looking over your shoulder, because you don't want her to see the reflection of your eyes bugging out on the computer screen):

I'm not sure if this is also SHE or a woman modeling her SHE safari clothes:

I didn't realized there was a market niche large enough to cater to fashionable women's hunting apparel. Thought they just wore small sized men's hunting outfits. That probably was the case before SHE came along.
Now I know the reason why hunting has fallen off in the US; guys are too busy hunting for women in SHE apparel to hunt game!
As far as why the SHE bins are purple, perhaps purple is the new pink. I will check with Elle Woods.
