Ritchie

Innovation and Reliability Make Ritchie Number One
Ritchie Navigation has been a leader in marine compass manufacturing for over 150 years. From the first liquid dampened compass to today's modern designs Ritchie Navigation has been critical to the development of the modern marine compass.

ôWe believe the compass is the most valuable navigation instrument on any boat,ö said RitchieÆs Stephen Sprole, vice president of marketing. ôA compass is as important today as it was back in the 19th century. Power outages may come and go, but a compass never fails.ö

 

No Artificial Dampening
All Ritchie compasses are built with ultra light weight dial assemblies. Therefore, they don't need to use heavy fluid to artificially dampen the movement. Ritchie compasses are filled with a highly refined, very low-viscosity dampening fluid which allows the dial to move smoothly within the bowl and lock on to magnetic north faster than other compasses. Ritchie's Dampening Fluid is also refined for brilliant, optical clarity. The compass fluid is drawn into the under vacuum thus eliminating the formation of bubbles. One more reason for Ritchie's quality reputation.

Hand Balancing Assures Accuracy
The Ritchie Compass dial assembly is a combination of components that includes the pivot and jewel, the gimbal system, powerful DirectiveForce magnets, extremely lightweight dials and a counter balance tab. Each Ritchie Compass is factory balanced to assure optimum performance and accuracy.

The Touch of a Master
All the advances in computer aid design and machining can't replace personal craftsmanship. That's why Ritchie's in-house machine shop manufactures or finishes many of the metal assemblies that go into every Ritchie compass. Every Ritchie Compass is assembled under the watchful eye of a master craftsman. That is a personal value that every Ritchie customer gets, and no other compass manufacturer can match.

Controlling Quality
The words "Quality Control" are not just buzz words at Ritchie. They are an integral part of the Ritchie manufacturing process. Meeting high standards for manufactured components and long-term testing of prototype compasses and parts assures that every Ritchie compass will provide years of accuracy and dependability.
