Wrist Compasses

I picked up a couple over the years. Part of the stuff I thought I needed as a collector but never used. Just for fun… do you have any?

Or how about this IWC model. Watch on top, hinge open to reveal a compass!

This Seiko Alpinist has a compass feature there is a rotating inner bezel and you orient to sun and you need to know what hemisphere you’re in and then say some magic words and it’s a compass.

Now we have all trails …how many remember how to use map and compass ? My Silva is always with me.

I was unaware of this IWC and looked it up. I like it!

I attached the link and a few screenshots.

I could have bought one of these IWC/Porsche watches, 35 years ago. I worked part time in a jewellery store that had one for sale. I bought my Speedmaster instead. Big mistake, huh?

Yeah exactly and the SAS has been doing it wrong all these years, they should have been issuing these.
I had to dig deep thru the watch boxes to find mine.
But seriously it is a nice concept, who needs a Reverso when you have one of these.

I don't have one - but I like your Waltman Rolex combo!

The thread made me think of the Suunto Oy compass Burt Reynolds "Lewis Medlock" wore in Deliverance.
