This compact push-open compass from THOR INSTRUMENTS blends classic nautical styling with practical portability. Crafted from brass with an antiqued finish and a copper rose dial, the 1.8-inch compass fits comfortably in a pocket or on a chain and arrives with a real cowhide leather case.

How is the compass made and what materials are used?

The compass body is hand-assembled from solid brass finished to a vintage patina for an aged look. The compass face features a copper-toned rose dial, while the case is stitched from genuine cowhide leather for lasting protection and tactile appeal. Construction focuses on aesthetic authenticity and durability for regular handling and display.

Will this compass fit in a pocket or be wearable as jewelry?

Yes — at approximately 1.8 inches in diameter and about 2.5 ounces without the chain and case, the compass is small and light enough to carry in a pocket.

How should I care for and store this compass?

To maintain the appearance, keep the compass dry and avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater or abrasive chemicals. Store it inside the included leather case when not in use, and wipe the brass and copper surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture.

• Store in the cowhide case to prevent scratches
• Wipe with a soft cloth; avoid harsh cleaners
