Suunto KB-14 Precision Compass

Suunto bearing compasses are designed to combine extreme accuracy with ease and speed of operation. Their flat, compact housings have no protruding or adjustable parts and are designed to stand up to heavy wear.

The cords of these compasses are immersed in a special dampening fluid that ensures vibrationless, smooth movement. They are pivoted on polished sapphire tips. The bearing assembly is to all intents and purposes subject to no wear and the liquid remains clear and its viscosity low under all conditions.

These compasses have been given permanent anti-static treatment. The lens apertures are restricted horizontally by a column, which automatically centers the eye on the optical axis, thus eliminating parallax.

The KB-14 boasts a reading accuracy of 1/6 degree. The housing is made of solid, non-corrosive anodized light-weight alloy. Weighing only 3.8 oz., this instrument boasts absolute accuracy better than 0.3 of a degree, and is excellent for such users as foresters, surveyors and geologists.

Available in Azimuth (0-360 degrees), Azimuth (0-360 degrees) with Reciprocal Scale, or Quadrant (four 90 degree quadrants) models. Includes lanyard and black padded cordura case with velcro closure and belt loop.
