Iris 50 Compass



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 you 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 baring 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 degree 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 and expansion diaphragm, preventing the formation of bubbles and leaks. · Built-in photo luminescent 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 though the prism.

Iris 100 Compass



The Iris 100 is a universal compass: It can be installed on any inclination or position: vertical horizontal, laying flat, upside down… It is a course compass which can also be used to take bearings. It can be taken away and moved around the boat: it is simply clipped on a smooth-edge bracket, designed not to catch sails or hurt fingers. A soft rubber casing provides efficient protection against shocks. These features make the Iris 100 an ideal compass for small boats (dinghy, kayak, canoe, small fishing boat…).
