The Plastimo Iris 50 Bearing Compass is a robust and reliable marine instrument designed for both professional navigators and recreational sailors. Its ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, even in wet conditions, preventing slippage. The compass features a high-definition, screen-printed graduated rose with 1° increments, offering exceptional readability. The prism projects the graduation to infinity, eliminating parallax errors and enhancing reading comfort. With a 20° field of view and a deflection of ±12°, it provides optimal bearing accuracy in various sea conditions. The pivot and stone assembly is virtually indestructible and shock-resistant, ensuring precise bearings. The soft-bottom cell, welded with ultrasound, prevents bubble formation and leakage over time. Integrated photoluminescent lighting operates without batteries or radioactive tritium, offering maintenance-free illumination. The top-mounted heading reading allows for easy course identification without looking through the prism.
