Review: Quality and Timing - Arrived in good time and in good quality Review: Great compass - I'm doing a navigation qualification and this was the brand and model recommended by the instructor. It's a great compass and I especially value the romer for different map scales (i.e 1:25K & 1:50K are both on the base plate). The lanyard also has lots of different scales and is a nice touch. Finally, the lines on the compass face are really helpful when finding your bearings (not all compasses have that). All in, I am very happy with my purchase. ## Features - Expedition S is a mirror sighting compass with many features. It is high performing when it comes to accuracy, precision and durability and is developed for experienced users and professionals. - This compass features a mirror that allows you to view the compass dial and the background at the same time. The fact that the compass dial can be seen at the same time the reference point is aligned makes mirror compasses more desirable for taking accurate bearings. - The Expedition S features a rotatable compass housing with rubber grip bezel for easy handling and comes with a declination scale inside the capsule. - A base plate map-measuring in mm and scales of 1:50k, 1:25k, 1:24k. Expedition S has the additional benefit of 45-degree angle assistance on the mirror sighting function. When held at a 45-degree angle, the compass mirror displays a cross that aligns with the compass housing visible in the mirror. - The luminous markings on the Expedition S compass make night navigation possible, allowing you to navigate even in low-light conditions. This compass model is equipped with a detachable scale lanyard that works like a ruler. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01FU70YNA | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 33,222 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 79 in Compasses (Sports & Outdoors) | | Color | Transparent | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (596) | | Date First Available | 18 May 2016 | | Department | Unisex | | Features | Mirror sighting, Slope card, Detachable distance lanyard, Clinometer, Rotatable housing, Night-enabling luminous markings, Recycled PET scale lanyard | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07318860194788 | | Included components | Compass | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 37454 | | Manufacturer | Silva | | Map scale | 1:50k, 1:25k, 1:24k | | Material type | Acrylic | | Mounting type | Tabletop Mount | | Product Dimensions | 10.8 x 6.35 x 1.91 cm; 86 g | | Seasons | continuity | | Size | One Size | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Silva - **Item weight:** 0.09 Kilograms - **Material:** Acrylic - **Product dimensions:** 10.8L x 6.4W centimetres ## Images ![Silva - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71paiugArrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality and Timing *by J***N on 22 July 2025* Arrived in good time and in good quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great compass *by T***G on 25 January 2024* I'm doing a navigation qualification and this was the brand and model recommended by the instructor. It's a great compass and I especially value the romer for different map scales (i.e 1:25K & 1:50K are both on the base plate). The lanyard also has lots of different scales and is a nice touch.

All in, I am very happy with my purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First impressions - Silva Expedition *by J***F on 6 August 2023* Likes - Romer scales; large baseplate, adjustable declination, good grip on compass housing, good needle dampening; 3x silicone feet on the baseplate to help stop the compass from sliding across a map; baseplate markings are embossed so shouldn't wear out as quickly as on some other compasses Dislikes: - The declination adjustment tool is housed in the lanyard and is accessed by opening the housing. This breaks the lanyard loop. Since the housing is very easy to pull apart, the compass doesn't feel secure on the loop. I'll be using a different lanyard. - Because the degree markings (black) are on a dark orange housing, they're more difficult to read than they should be. A lighter coloured housing would be better. - The cardinals are marked in dark orange and are on an dark orange housing making them (almost) impossible to read. ## Frequently Bought Together - Silva Expedition S Compass | Night-Enabling Luminous Markings | Perfect for Navigation, Hiking, Trekking and Hunting - Silva Compass CASE Black, One Size - Wilderness Navigation: Finding Your Way Using Map, Compass, Altimeter & GPS, 3rd Edition (Mountaineers Outdoor Basics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/57386060-silva](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/57386060-silva) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
