SR4 Class A Compass

The SR4 Class A Compass is designed to meet SOLAS requirements; John Lilley and Gillie’s SR4 compass is the best Class A compass on the market.

SR4 CLASS A COMPASS BENEFITS

The design of the SR4 magnetic compass revolutionised the way the magnetic compass was produced, with the body created out of a polycarbonate compound, which has two main benefits.

First, it does not have the leaking problems that traditional brass compasses suffer. Any leak in a magnetic compass can cause air bubbles on top of the compass, leading to difficulty reading the heading accurately. The production methods and materials used in the John Lilley and Gillie SR4 compass completely resolve this problem.

Secondly, almost all of the unit is transparent, which allows more light to reach the compass card, improving visibility.

Since introducing the SR4 compass in 2010, John Lilley and Gillie have sold several thousand units to satisfied customers worldwide with no warranty returns, proving the high quality of the workmanship and design.

The SR4 compass is fully compatible with the John Lilley and Gillie binnacle systems. Our binnacles are designed to allow full compass correction and are all approved for all vessels.
