Engineering, innovating and building marine compasses for over 150 years

A force to be reckoned with since 1850.

The marine industry leader for the manufacturing of recreational and commercial magnetic compasses. Ritchie engineering has been critical to the development of the modern marine compass for nearly 170 years. From the first liquid dampened compass. To today’s advanced PowerDamp® dial designs. And including our Voyager and Navigator compasses with Wheelmark® certifications from the EU MED. As we’ve remained at the forefront of compass technology for almost 170 years, Ritchie Navigation has continued to set new construction standards to ensure the accuracy, durability, utility and quality of Ritchie compasses.
