• Good protection against hard knocks: the smooth finish feels soft in your hand, and it will notslip, even if it is wet.
• Outstanding legibility of the card, with one-degreegraduations.
• No parallax error: a prism projects the reading of the bearingto infinity. This also contributes to a more comfortable operation, as you do not need to alternate close-reading to read the card andinfinite-reading to take bearings for boats.
• Optimum conditions to take bearings, thanks to thesuperb card stability and the wide 20°field of view, which willaccommodate 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-sonic welding, it actslike an expansion diaphragm, preventing the formation of bubblesand leaks.
• Built-in photoluminescent lighting for boats, completely maintenance-free, impervious to corrosion, operates without boat batteries or radio-active tritium.
• Course reading from above the compass: you can read your compass like a standard compass, with no need to lookthrough the prism.
