Abstract

A waterproof and fog resistant gauge (10) includes a housing (12) forming a chamber (14) with a base (18) and opposing open end (16). The open-end (16) is enclosed by a bezel (60) compressing a pair of lenses (50, 52) spaced by a gasket (46) against and to the housing (12). The spaced lenses (50, 52) provides a "dead air" space between the lenses (50, 52) preventing air from entering or exiting. The housing (12) also includes an aperture (70) covered by an anaerobic filter (72) which allows the chamber (14) to breath while preventing water and other contaminants from entering the gauge (10).
