Compass Typ 1933 is a traditional baseplate compass inspired by older Silva compass models. In 1933, The Kjellström brothers along with Gunnar Tillander, invented the first Silva compass. To honor them, we designed the Compass Typ 1933, inspired by Silva's older compass models from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. The compass features a detachable red cord and comes in a gray felt case in retro packaging with Silva's early logo. The Typ 1933 has a retro look with modern features such as a global compass needle, a grip-friendly compass ring in durable CNC aluminum with rotatable compass housing, a built-in magnifying lens, and luminous markings for night navigation. It includes map-measuring scales of 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 in millimeters and inches, making it compatible with most maps. It is made of durable material that withstands challenging weather conditions.
