Description
Weems & Plath Grande View 615 is a large dome-shaped chart magnifier for readers who want powerful magnification and a distinctive nautical accessory for the chart table. With 6× magnification and a diameter of 10.16 cm, it is suitable for close reading of small numbers, symbols, and details on paper charts.
The magnifier is placed directly on the chart or document. Its bright-field optics collect ambient light and direct it toward the reading surface. You can read through the magnifier from various angles and distances without adjusting the focus. The compass rose with degree markings is applied to the underside; it is a scale, not a magnetic compass.
Grande View is made of crystal-clear acrylic. It is larger and has stronger magnification than the Weems & Plath Crystal Magnifier 4×, the smaller crystal-glass alternative. Choose Grande View when the larger model and 6× magnification are your priorities.
The rounded shape and compass rose also make the magnifier a fine addition to a desk. It can serve as a chart weight or paperweight and comes in a felt-lined gift box, making it a thoughtful gift for a sailor or map enthusiast.
