SAGA Type-62 Tactical Compass Product Overview
The SAGA Type-62 tactical compass is an authentic military classic, type-approved in 1962, in service with the Chinese armed forces for 57 years and retired in 2019 - still made to military standard for civilian use. The alloy body is tough yet compact at just 67x62x22mm and around 130g, so it fits in one hand or hangs on your belt. It is a multi-function instrument combining a compass/navigation bearing, an outdoor rosette, a clinometer for slope and elevation, map distance measuring (straight or curved) via the odometer wheel, azimuth angle measurement, and a signal mirror for emergency SOS. Its hardened steel needle holds high magnetism for years and is luminous, so you can read the bearing even in darkness. A brass brake plate with a metal brake button locks the needle and protects the instrument when closed; a pendulum inclinometer and level base let you measure the slope of mountains, buildings and the horizon. The included odometer wheel and distance ring let you measure route mileage directly on a scaled map. It ships in a leather case (with a leatherette option), a user manual, a hand strap and a colour box. Ideal for travel, cycling, hiking, camping, exploration and sailing - a reliable navigation companion and a collectible piece.
