Iris 50 Hand-bearing Compass with Shell-Pack

Available in blue, yellow, turquoise, or olive green

This beauty of a compass combines state-of-the-art technology, masterful engineering, and style for an end result that says a whole lot more than which way is north. The Iris 50 compass is clear evidence that a sturdy marine compass no longer needs to look austere. With it, you’ll have excellent protection against hard knocks. The smooth finish feels soft in your hand, and it will not slip, even if it is wet. And it’s very user friendly – providing outstanding legibility of the card, with one-degree graduations.

The Iris 50 provides you with the optimum conditions to take bearings, thanks to the superb card stability and the wide 20° field of view, which will accommodate the roughest sea conditions. Relax, knowing that you have the most accurate bearing.

The Iris 50 will take the roughest seas that come your way. Jar it, drop it, get it wet. The pivot and very hard stone are a guarantee of long life and shock resistance of your compass. The soft bottom cell is engineered using ultra-sonic welding; it acts like an expansion diaphragm, preventing the formation of bubbles and leaks.

With built-in photoluminescent lighting, the Iris 50 is completely maintenance-free, impervious to corrosion, and operates without batteries or radio-active tritium.

Take your course reading from above the compass. You can read the Iris 50 like a standard compass, with no need to look through the prism.
