Silva logoAs early as 1933, the Kjellström brothers, Silva’s founders, invented the first liquid-filled compass that revolutionized navigation and became a global standard. The liquid created a resistance that prevented the needle from spinning. Now you could read the compass in just 4 seconds, compared to the previous 30. Ever since then, we have developed and improved our compasses to be as fast and precise as possible. With our quality compasses, you get accurate and fast navigation on land or at sea, day or night. Constantly developing and improving our compasses to become the best on the market is something we have been working on since the start in 1933. Find a compass for the outdoors and adventures. Among our beginner compasses, you will find classic standard compasses with rotatable compass housing and entry level compasses that meet the requirements for education in schools, youth groups and leisure orienteers. Here you will also find adventure and expedition compasses such as our sighting compasses with global needle, magnifying glass and inclination map to detect avalanche risk.
