Ritchie · B-81R · Voyager Series

3 inches. Zero excuses.

The Voyager B-81R raises the stakes: 76 mm CombiDial for magnified reading, Ritchie’s exclusive green NiteVu lighting, and a movable sunshield that eliminates glare when the sun hits from the front. For those navigating far from the coast who need clear data at a glance.

Voyager B-81R on an oceanographic research vessel — 76 mm CombiDial visible from any angle.

CombiDial

Bigger. Clearer. Faster to read.

76 mm diameter isn't just a whim — it's the difference between reading your heading at a glance and having to get up close. The CombiDial magnifies the numbers and cardinal markings. From the helm, a meter away, it reads perfectly.

NiteVu

The night is no problem.

NiteVu is Ritchie’s exclusive night lighting technology. Green, passive, no batteries required. It doesn't compete with the navigator's night vision or interfere with on-board electronics. It simply works — all night, every night.

Direct sun

The shield that moves with you.

The movable sunshield adjusts to the sun's angle. At 6 a.m. it hits from port, at noon from above, at 5 p.m. from starboard. One flick of the hand and the glare is gone. No improvised visors, no duct tape.
