Brand New, Genuine Cammenga Phosphorescent U.S. Military Lensatic Compass Model 27 - Classic Olive Drab color.  Waterproof, shock-proof and built to the demanding Official U.S Military standards (MIL-PRF-10436N).  Battle tested through rigorous shock, water, sand proof, and functional from -50 F to +150 F. Cammenga is the exclusive manufacturer of compasses used by U.S. military personnel. These are superb and heavy-duty professional instruments.  The Phosphorescent Dial provides bright illumination after brief exposure to light - sunlight, flashlights, or other light source. Phosphorescent pigment takes 5 minutes to fully 'charge' and will last 5-15 minutes with diminishing brightness. All compasses have been manufactured within the past month.

The phosphorescent lensatic compass has been used as an economical alternative to the tritium model for decades. It is the same compass CAMMENGA has been supplying to the US military except that the self-luminous tritium has been replaced with phosphorescent pigment. Paint is located in 7 positions on/in the compass: 1 at each end of the sight wire, 1 in the cup cavity, 3 within the dial(N,W,E), and 1 in the bezel cavity.

Perfect for Hiking, upcoming Hunting Seasons, and any other outdoor activities where direction/location is of vital importance.

Also available in Brand New Hi-Vis Pink and Coyote Brown, as well as SWAT Black and Real-tree Camouflage.  Please also see our Cammenga Tritium Wrist Compasses and Protractor compasses.

A few notes:

The Cammenga Lensatic Compass uses induction damping to slow the rotation of the magnet.  Induction damping allows the Dial to seek Magnetic North and come to a complete rest in much less time than a unit without induction damping.  It is a velocity-dependent force; that is, as the speed of the oscillation of the Dial comes to a rest, the damping force is zero, increasing longevity and accuracy.  Induction damping proves to be far superior to liquid damped compasses which are subject to leakage and eventual failure.
