The Marbles Pocket Compass is a 1 inch brass compass with a revolving black face, a luminous dial and a lanyard attachment.
The revolving face is what separates this from a fixed-dial compass. Turning the bezel sets a bearing, so a heading can be held without doing arithmetic every time the needle is checked. The luminous dial keeps it readable at dusk and in heavy cover without a light.
A lanyard attachment rather than a pin means it hangs around the neck or clips inside a pocket, which suits anyone who does not want a compass pinned to a jacket. Brass is used because it is non-magnetic and cannot deflect the needle the way a steel case would. Explore more navigation compasses.
