This is an outstanding compass, easy to use and solid as a rock.
You do NOT need to order the tritium version that costs $40 more, the marks on this compass will glow for hours with just a quick shine with a flashlight.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best You Can Buy, January 15, 2009

I bought this to replace a 40 year old "Silva" that had seen better days. I looked at Brunton, Suunto, and Silva before deciding on the Cammenga. The damping on the needle (card) is absolutely dead-on and rock solid. The quality of this compass can't be beat by any other compass today. I agree with the other reviewers about not getting the tritium version.

The phosphorescent version is the same compass but without the added cost of the tritium.

This is the same version as standard US military issue, but without the tritium.

You will not be disappointed when you use this compass. The old adage is still true, you do get what you pay for. One more note, most of the Brunton and Silva compasses are Chinese.... get the US made Cammenga instead; you'll... Read more

I purchased this for my husband for Christmas. He was stunned! He had recently gone out west Elk Hunting with a buddy who had served in the US Military. His buddy used one of these Compasses to navigate the area they hunted. It is extremely accurate and the bonus of this one is that the dial glows in the dark.
