Other Useful Information
The compass is styled after classic military and expedition navigation instruments used before modern digital navigation systems became widespread. The nostalgic finish and intentionally aged appearance are part of the product concept and not manufacturing defects.
The included clinometer allows users to estimate terrain slopes and elevation angles, which historically played an important role in navigation, artillery calculations and mountaineering.
The manual also explains that East and West markings appear reversed compared to modern compasses due to the original-style sighting system design. [oai_citation:1‡562190_VS_016539.pdf](sediment://file_0000000056f4720aa6680fb32b248c98)
