How long have Monarchs been phase coated? (1 Viewer)

Have they been phase coated since they changed from dark green to black or were some of the green ones phase coated? I am wondering if older reviews were of the non coated ones. Thanks.

The phase coated models are 8x42 and 10x42, the older non-phase coated models are 8x40 and 10x40, change occured about two or three years ago.
 
The phase-coated Monarchs come with streamlined chassis and are made in China. No worry, optically they're better than Olympus EXWPIs, which are said to be made in Japan.
