Adrianov Wrist Compass

The Adrianov Compass is a Soviet standard military wrist compass created by the Russian cartographer V. Adrianov.

The compass is easy to use. Adrianov's compass consists of a case and a magnetic needle in the center of a case, which is placed on the tip of a needle. The rotating glass cover can be used as a sighting device for reading angles or sighting in any direction.

When the arrows are mobile, the directions they show are as follows: Northern part – the arrow in the direction of the North Magnetic Pole, and South part - in the direction of the South Magnetic Pole. When the arrows are immobile, they are secured with a special brake.

The annular limb of the Adrianov compass has a scale in degrees and thousandths with a division of the limb equal to 3° or 50 thousandths.

The north end of the magnetic needle and the counting and graduation indicators on the scale are covered with glow-in-the-dark paint, which makes it easier to use the compass at night.

The compass is designed to be worn on your wrist. It is the perfect hands-free solution for backpackers, mountaineers, windsurfers, bikers, or yachtsmen. This convenient wrist compass allows you to move more freely during your adventures.

It can be a good gift for the hunters, fishermen and tourists!
