Hand-bearing compass with buoyant plastic casing

The Suunto KB-20 is a floating hand-bearing compass that weights only 40 g. It is an ideal instrument for marine, professional and outdoor use. The Suunto KB-20 has an accuracy of 1 degree, the graduation interval is 1° and it has reverse scale. The capsule is covered with a floating, shock-resistant plastic housing which is available both in yellow and grey.

Suunto bearing compasses are designed to combine extreme accuracy with ease and speed of operation. The compasses are water resistant.

The cards of these compasses are immersed in a special dampening fluid that ensures vibration-less, smooth behavior. The compass card is set on an anti-magnetic pivot with jewel-bearing. The sintered special magnet guarantees long life-time for accuracy and smooth behavior. The liquid remains clear and maintains its viscosity low even in high temperature variations for years.

The compasses have been given permanent anti-static treatment. The lens apertures of the Suunto KB-14 and KB-20 types are restricted horizontally by a column, which automatically centers the eye on the optical axis, thus eliminating parallax.
