BASELINE

The scales and other information on SILVA compasses are hot-stamped, which makes them exceptionally durable.

COMPASS ACCURACY

SILVA is a longtime global leader in compass accuracy, precision and durability. On all SILVA compasses, the direction accuracy for Magnetic North is 1 degree.

COMPASS HOUSING

The capsule is filled with anti-static liquid (customised formula) that ensures clear reading, fast settling time, perfect dampening, stability and accuracy of the needle.

MAGNIFYING LENS

Many SILVA compasses come with a magnifying lens built into the baseplate. This will make it easier for you to read the map and its small typography, and for precision map work.

COMPASS NEEDLE

SILVA has developed the world’s fastest and most accurate compass needle, made only from finest Swedish steel, with a sapphire jewel bearing for frictionfree movement of the compass needle.

NORTH/ SOUTH LINES

Patented red/ black north-south lines in the capsule bottom ensure easy and safe settling. Align with the meridians on the map. Make sure that the map points north.
