| The Iris 50 is a universal compass specifically designed to take accurate bearings comfortably,
whatever the type of navigation and the weather conditions. The Iris 50 compass
is clear evidence that a sturdy marine compass no longer needs to look austere. The Iris 50 hand bearing compass
is intended for use on all types of boats: dinghies, racing boats, cruisers, pneumatic
boats, power day-boats, fast power crafts and power cruisers.
Features
Good protection against hard knocks
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 accommodate 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 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.
