Metal Cased Lensatic Compass – Professional Military Navigation Tool
The Metal Cased Lensatic Compass is a compact military-style direction finder with a liquid-filled floating dial and luminous markings. Its gold-colored metal case protects the working parts while keeping the instrument small enough for a pocket or field pouch.
The lensatic format supports more deliberate sighting than a basic button compass. Liquid damping steadies the floating dial, and the luminous display improves legibility when ambient light is low. The case measures 2.5 inches in diameter.
It is suited to hiking, camp orientation, map work, and teaching the fundamentals of bearing and direction. As with any compact compass, confirm its reading away from vehicles, magnets, steel tables, and other sources of interference.
What it’s for:
- Taking and following bearings outdoors
- Map-and-compass practice
- Adding a compact navigation instrument to a field kit
