Weems & Plath C Plath Merkur VZ-E Compass, Black Card/ Bezel, Type 2074

The Merkur VZE Compass is perfect for use on high speed boats that require flush bulkhead mounting. It can be mounted with up to a 5 degree variance. It is highly dampened to take vibrational abuse that occurs at high speeds. This compass is manufactured in Germany by C. Plath and features a full spherical construction with an internal gimbal system which accommodates all angles of heel without compromising accuracy. The oscillation-free double bottom compensates for volumetric changes. The black housing is seawater resistant and made of a light alloy. The super-strong glass dome is insensitive to ultraviolet rays, and is guaranteed for life against cracking, crazing, and yellowing under normal use. The accuracy of indication, lag error, and oscillation period all exceed the International Organization of Standards norm. Additionally, the vibration resistance of this yacht compass exceeds requirements of BSH (German Hydrographic Institute).
