Green vs dark brown original box

I have noticed that some AP's come with a green box and some with a dark brown box... what is the difference? Is one an older style box and one newer?

Just purchased my first AP last month. Came with the green box. That's all I got as far as help though.

Brown boxes are old.
Was changed to green since 2012 or 2013 if I'm not mistaken.

The new green boxes started with the I-series references --- probably sometime in 2013...

Got green also, cool box except you can't take out the padding inside and use it to put things like other watch boxes, too bad
