Victory Brass Barometer 5"

A Traditional Marine Instrument Built to Last

The Victory RM616R Brass Barometer is the kind of marine instrument that doesn't become obsolete. While electronic weather stations cycle through firmware updates and battery replacements, this aneroid barometer does what barometers have done for centuries — it reads atmospheric pressure through a purely mechanical movement, with no power source required. For Canadian boaters who value tradition, reliability, and craftsmanship aboard their vessels, the Victory barometer is a proven choice.

The 5-inch dial face is large enough to read from across a cabin without squinting. The analog display shows barometric pressure clearly, with a reference pointer that lets you track pressure trends by setting it to the current reading and checking for movement over time. Rising pressure generally indicates fair weather ahead; falling pressure warns of approaching systems — knowledge that's just as valuable on Georgian Bay as it is crossing the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Solid Brass Construction

The case is solid polished brass — not brass-plated or brass-finished, but solid brass throughout. This matters in a marine environment where humidity, salt air, and temperature swings degrade lesser materials. The polished finish develops a warm patina over time that many boaters prefer, or it can be maintained with standard brass polish. The overall case dimensions are approximately 6-5/16" diameter by 2-3/8" depth, designed for flat bulkhead mounting inside the cabin.

No Batteries, No Wiring, No Maintenance

There's nothing to plug in, nothing to charge, and nothing to replace. The aneroid mechanism operates purely through mechanical response to atmospheric pressure changes. This makes it a reliable backup reference even when electronics are powered down, and it's one less device drawing from your boat's electrical system. For extended cruising, offshore passages, or simply as a daily reference at the nav station, the barometer works whenever you glance at it.
