Ritchie X-23BU RitchieSport Compass - Dash Mount - Black/Blue

The Ritchie X-23BU RitchieSport Compass with dash mount delivers precision navigation in a compact, field-proven format. This 2-inch direct-reading dial compass is purpose-built for vehicles, vessels, and mobile operations where reliable bearing acquisition matters. The sapphire jewel and hardened steel pivot movement provides the accuracy operators and field personnel depend on, while the built-in green NiteVu lighting enables navigation in low-light conditions without compromising night vision adaptation.

Installation is straightforward—the compass fits standard 2 1/16-inch instrument panel holes found in most vehicles, trucks, and dash configurations. The adjustable viewing angle accommodates up to 30 degrees of tilt, critical for vehicles with angled dashboards or unconventional mounting positions. High-temperature composite construction extends the operating range beyond standard magnetic compasses, maintaining calibration and readability in extreme thermal environments. The black and blue colorway integrates with tactical and utility vehicle interiors while remaining visually distinct.

This compass serves mounted operators, vehicle crews, law enforcement mobile units, and field teams who require immediate heading reference without electronic dependency. The direct-reading dial eliminates calculation steps under time-pressure scenarios. Its compact form factor and dash-mount design make it ideal for patrol vehicles, tactical support units, and expedition vehicles where space is limited but navigation redundancy is non-negotiable. The X-23BU bridges the gap between dashboard integration and emergency backup navigation capability.

Ritchie has built its reputation on magnetic compass reliability across marine, aviation, and automotive platforms for decades. The precision movement and durable construction found in this model reflect that heritage while remaining accessible for standard vehicle applications.
