Description
Cassens & Plath Professional Split View is a classic marine sextant designed for precise astronomical navigation at sea. The instrument is manufactured in Bremerhaven, Germany, by Cassens & Plath, a manufacturer with a long tradition in precision instruments for maritime navigation. The Professional series is known for its robust construction and high measurement accuracy, and is used by long-distance sailors, navigation schools and professional navigators alike.
The Sextant is BSH type-approved by the German maritime authorities, documenting the instrument’s precision and quality in maritime use. This certification makes the model suitable for both teaching navigation and practical use at sea, where accurate observations of celestial bodies are essential.
Professional Split View is equipped with a traditional split-view mirror that makes it possible to compare the horizon and the celestial body directly in the same field of view. This classic optical solution is preferred by many experienced navigators because it provides very precise alignment when observing the sun, moon and navigational stars.
The sextant comes with a 4×40 telescope that provides clear and stable observation during navigation. The precision engraved scale and micrometer readout allows you to measure the height of the sun, moon or stars with high accuracy, which is crucial when calculating position through celestial navigation.
The sturdy metal construction makes the instrument robust and stable for use at sea. Together with nautical almanacs and sight reduction tables, the navigator can calculate his position independently of electronic navigation systems.
Cassens & Plath Professional Split View is delivered in a protective case and with documentation of the instrument’s quality and precision. The result is a reliable navigation instrument that combines classic maritime craftsmanship with modern precision optics.
