E.S. Ritchie & Sons, Inc. was formed in 1850 by Edward Samuel Ritchie. Today still privately held by the Sherman Family in Pembroke, MA, Ritchie Navigation continues to be the Marine Industry leader in the manufacture of recreational and commercial magnetic compasses. Ritchie product The most important criteria when selecting a compass are dial size and mounting style. Quality components aid accuracy, smooth response, stability, and trouble-free operation. Although the size and shape of Ritchie Compass models may vary, this cutaway engineering illustration is representative of the modern technology that makes Ritchie Compasses the World’s Best Marine Compasses All Ritchie Compasses are engineered to operate normally within their environment without bottoming out due to the pitch and roll or heel of the boat. An internal gimbaling system is most often applied to provide this important function. Never be afraid of a broken compass. All Ritchie compasses are 100% repairable and are backed by Ritchie’s 5 year assurance. Ritchie uses special High Gauss Magnets that are field balanced and matched to each compass model, dial style and size. They are attached to the underside of the dial in pairs matched to seek and lock on to magnetic north. This provides superior accuracy and smooth, rapid response. All Ritchie Compasses use a Hardened Steel Pivot and Triple Cup Sapphire Jewel Movement. They are microscopically matched to provide smooth dial operation and fast lock-on, under the most severe conditions. There are no plastic pivots or jewels in Ritchie Compasses. From the manufacturer
