The Heirloom Dual Sapphire Titanium Compass was designed by several graduate students on staff to guide them through life journeys. We wanted to make something that would last for several generations.
The frame is made from a single piece of grade 5 titanium. The top bail is free spinning titanium for easy carry and will not bunch up in your pocket. This design is perfect for laying on a map to see through to your declination.
Remember this compass is not a "moral compass"... that is up-to you. However it will point you North, South, East or West ;)
Indicator head is fully coated in Swiss Super-LumiNova® Grade X1, which is the brightest possible none radioactive phosphorous to date.
Weight : 1.5 Ounces
Dimensions : 1.75" diameter x .35" ( specifically picked to guide you all year round )
Loop Head .6 Titanium
Loop Base 316L Stainless Steel
Pressure Tested : 2ATM - 66 Feet

This compass is as pretty as it gets, and with sapphire glass and titanium shell as hardy. The latest generation and a recent year batch is what I bought and had shipped to UK. That process is extremely easy and along with CC guru any worries are taken care of. The compass is a lot, lot better than earlier generations of which I had one, and responds quickly and accurately. It is far less sensitive to not being entirely level like the previous ones. It is absolutely great and I can walk with it on a line in the fog or dark. I wear it on the wrist using CC stainless steel holder. This does not work if the watch pins are left in as they are magnetic. I failed to find a solution for this, and was going to return it, again CC could not have been more helpful. I have removed the pins, and adapted a strap to fit under the watch. It is perfect.
What a little gem! Had to order a titanium chain so I could wear it around my neck!
This is a far cry from the plastic compass I used to have in the Boy Scouts. The craftsmanship and finish are beautiful. The size and weight are very satisfying in the hand. If you are looking for well crafted, functional compass that will serve as a great keep-sake/collector’s piece, this is the one. Highly recommended. The compass arrived very quickly and was well packaged for shipping. Although customer service was not needed the follow-up and attention to detail was much appreciated.
This is a well made and gorgeous looking compass. It is a high quality compass that works well and is easy to use with a map.
Just received this great-looking compass.
I'm expecting it to be really strudy as its components, sapphire crystal and Ti frame, suggest.
I expect, given its larger size, not to be easily (permanently) misaligned by magnetic fields from other gadgets (e.g., cell phones, flashlights, etc.). Time will tell... and if I can further edit this post, I'll try to report back on its performance.
