Silva 100BC Compass

Silva is synonymous in the manufacturing of marine compasses. The Silva quality is second to none.

Durability - The capsule bowl, made from clear and scratch-resistant acrylic, ensures excellent readability and lasts over time.

Low Friction - The combination of a sapphire jewel bearing and a hardened steel pivot minimises friction, which in turn gives rapid and accurate movements.

Perfect Dampening - The no-spin compass car is designed for perfect dampening and exact reading.

Accurate Reading - The gimballed suspension system enables accurate reading and undisturbed functionality - even when the boat is exposed to rough seas.

The Silva 100BC is a front reading compass with a solid bracket that enables various mounting alternatives, including on the headlining.

It has a main steering scale on the horizontal part of the compass rose and direct reading on the vertical edge. This makes the compass ideal for boats with a sitting as well as a standing helmsman.

The integrated illumination makes night navigation easier.

Built-in compensator allows you to adjust the compass if it is disturbed by a magnetic deviation.
