The Cammenga G.I. Military Tritium Lensatic Compass is built to the rigorous specifications of U.S. Fighting Forces for the bearing you take after the light is gone. Its seven tritium micro lights hold the dial readable in low light, and the battle-tested body is shock, water and sandproof.

A magnifying lens and sight wire line up your read, with dial graduations in both degrees and mils. It stays functional from -50°F to +150°F when the weather turns rough.

Why it works:

  • Readable when daylight fades: Low-light navigation stays on track, with seven tritium micro lights built into the compass.
  • Accurate bearings, your choice of units: Line up a landmark through the magnifying lens and sight wire, then read dial graduations in degrees or mils.
  • A needle that settles without fluid: The copper induction dampening system slows magnet rotation without liquids, for a more precise reading.
  • Ready for hard weather: It is shock, water and sandproof and functional in temperatures from -50°F to +150°F.
  • Carry it where your hand finds it: An aluminum frame and waterproof housing are built to last, and a carrying pouch and belt clip come in the box.

Made for outdoor enthusiasts who navigate after dark and in rough weather.
