40 years on the right course.
Only the best will do ! For ultimate quality, Plastimo selects the best components in order to ensure that your compass is a highly dependable instrument which will provide years of reliable service. A sapphire equips every compass : its hardness is a warranty for the long life and precision of your compass. All Plastimo compasses feature an anti-vibration system, which ensures a minimal contact between the pivot and the sapphire cup ; the latestborn "Vibration absorber" device damps spinning caused by high-speed pounding and vibration. A compass is a meticulously engineered instrument : all the "precious" components are produced by Swiss clock-makers, worldwide famous for their legendary precision. The soft Viton® diaphragm or the semi-soft ultra-sound welded diaphragm is fully waterproof and has an extreme expansion and retraction capacity : it compensates the fluctuations in fluid volume caused by the differences in temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Our compasses are engineered to withstand severe weather and rough conditions.
