Plastimo Iris 50 Handheld Hand Bearing Compass – Blue

The Iris 50 compass is clear evidence that a sturdy marine compass no longer needs to look austere.

• Good protection against hard knocks:
  the smooth finish feels soft in your hand, and it will not slip, even if it is wet.
• Outstanding legibility of the card, with one degree graduations.
• No parallax error: a prism projects the reading of the bearing to infinity. This also contributes to a more comfortable operation, as you do not need to alternate close-reading to read the card and infinite-reading to take bearings.
• Optimum conditions to take bearings, thanks to the superb card stability and the wide 20° field of view, which will accomodate the roughest sea conditions.
• Most accurate bearing: the pivot and very hard stone are a guarantee of long life and shock resistance of your compass.
• Soft bottom cell: engineered using ultra-somic welding, it acts like an expansion diaphragm, preventing the formation of bubbles and leaks.
• Built-in photoluminescent lighting, completely maintenance-free, impervious to corrosion, operates without batteries or radio-active tritium.
• Course reading from above the compass: you can read your compass like a standard compass, with no need to look through the prism
