Currently, this is the best compass I have had the chance to work with – it works very smoothly, and thanks to the mirror I don't have to lean over the dial.
Silva Expedition Neo S Compass
A map compass crafted for professional users seeking a precise and adaptable navigation instrument. Constructed from highly durable materials, it resists severe weather conditions due to its waterproof design.
Fluorescent markings, pendulum clinometer, rotating dial
The model features fluorescent markings on the dial, needle, and plate, enhancing usability in low-light conditions. Additionally, the compass comes with a mirror, magnifying glass, 85 mm and 3-inch rulers, a pendulum clinometer, and scales of 1:24000, 1:25000, 1:40000, and 1:50000. A rotating aluminum dial with a notched handle includes a 360-degree scale for accurate navigation.
Neodymium magnet, Magnetic declination correction, neck lanyard
Utilizing a neodymium magnet, the compass needle functions with speed, precision, and resistance to demagnetization. The clear north indicator simplifies navigation and directional choices. The magnetic declination correction feature enables the compass to be used globally.
Equipped with rubber feet, the compass ensures steady placement on a map. Additionally, it includes a lanyard for wearing around the neck, which automatically uncoils under the right tension.

At the moment, this is the best compass I have ever used – its operation is very smooth, and the mirror eliminates the need to constantly tilt your head.

This is definitely the best compass I have used so far. The price is quite high, but its speed and precision are at a very good level. The only drawback is the occasional needle sticking, which requires shaking the compass, and a spot at the azimuth knob where there is noticeable resistance. This shouldn't happen at this price, but for me, it's not a big issue.
