Davis Master Sextant Deluxe Mark 25

Want that bit of insurance in case the power fails, well this is the answer, used by many a mariner for navigation around the world. Full-field Beam Converger with quartz hardcoat replaces conventional half-silvered mirror. Horizon and astrobody images are combined in a single full-field for easy, reliable sights under the most difficult conditions.

Key Features
