Silva Typ 1933 compass

Compass Typ 1933 is a traditional baseplate compass inspired by the classic Silva compasses from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. It features modern features such as a global compass needle, a built-in magnifying lens, and a grip-friendly compass ring in durable CNC aluminum.

Inspired by older Silva compass models:
- In 1933, The Kjellström brothers along with Gunnar Tillander, invented the first Silva compass. To honor them, we designed the Compass Typ 1933, inspired by Silv´s older compass models from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. The compass features a detachable red cord and comes in a gray felt case in retro packaging with Silv´s early logo.

Retro compass with modern features:
- Type 1933 has a retro look with modern features such as a global compass needle, a grip-friendly compass ring in durable CNC aluminum with rotatable compass housing, a built-in magnifying lens, and luminous markings for night navigation. It includes map-measuring scales of 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 in millimeters and inches, making it compatible with most maps. Compass Typ 1933 is made of durable material that withstands challenging weather conditions.
