Genuine Maritime Navigation Heritage and Solid Construction

Made entirely from brass by Tamaya & Co Ltd in Japan, this sextant served on working cargo and merchant vessels from the 1950s to 1980s. Navigators trusted its precise mirrors and scale for measuring the stars and finding position far from land. The heavy 3.2 kg build gives a reassuring, premium feel that lighter modern copies simply cannot match.

We reclaim each instrument from old ships and restore it carefully in Europe. Small signs of honest sea service remain, making yours truly one of a kind. The sturdy original case protects everything perfectly for safe display or storage.
