Description
An iconic instrument in the Plastimo range, the Iris 50 is the highly dependable companion This specific model is typically "Olive green - Zone AB" and has graduations in Mils, designed for military use. It is a highly regarded, waterproof, and shockproof navigation instrument known for its reliability among yachtsmen, racers, and trekkers. 
Key features of the product:
No parallax error: A prism projects the bearing reading to infinity for comfortable and accurate operation.
Photoluminescent lighting: Built-in lighting for use at night without the need for batteries.
Dual function: Can be used as a hand bearing compass (viewed through the prism) or a standard course compass (viewed from above).

Good protection against hard knocks : the smooth finish feels soft in your hand, and it will not slip, even if it is wet.
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.
Course reading from above the compass : you can read your compass like a standard compass, with no need to look through the prism.
Outstanding legibility of the card, with one-degree graduations.
Built-in photoluminescent lighting, completely maintenance-free, impervious to corrosion, operates without batteries or radio-active tritium.
As accurate out at sea as in the desert ! Sand proof, shockproof and operational by night with no need for electrical supply : the Iris 50 compass is the precise and precious companion to "gazelles", women-only competing in the off-road Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles in the Moroccan desert. Military and field compass applications :Army green (ref. 63873) and Sand (63603) models are available on special request with MILS graduation.

Graduation in MILS + MILS :
- Direct reading every 400 MIL
