A compass belongs in every outdoor kit. It works without batteries, without a mobile network and without a GPS signal – reliably in any weather and any terrain. Anyone venturing into nature should be able to navigate with a compass and map – even when the smartphone has long lost reception.
At Swiss-Sale.ch you will find three proven compasses from BCB International: from the tiny Explorer Button Compass that barely shows on a zip pull, through the versatile Mini Compass II, to the precision Map Compass with transparent baseplate.
The BCB Explorer Button Compass measures just 20 mm in diameter, making it the smallest compass in our range. It weighs virtually nothing and can be attached to a zip pull, wristband or survival kit. It reliably indicates north and is indispensable as an emergency backup. At CHF 4.58 there is no excuse not to carry a compass.
The BCB Mini Compass II offers significantly more functionality: the liquid-damped capsule ensures the needle settles quickly and steadily, while luminous markings allow orientation in low-light conditions. It is compact enough for a trouser pocket yet precise enough for demanding field navigation.
The BCB Map Compass is the first choice for anyone working with topographic maps. The transparent baseplate with printed scales enables precise distance measurements directly on the map. The built-in magnifying lens aids reading fine map symbols. With a direction arrow and rotating bezel it provides everything needed for accurate bearings.
For emergencies and as a backup: the Button Compass. For general outdoor activities and survival: the Mini Compass II. For map work, orienteering and precision navigation: the Map Compass. Ideally carry a Button Compass as a backup alongside your main compass.
Complement your compass with a suitable topographic map of the region. For night hikes or military operations the Mini Compass II with its luminous markings is recommended. A lanyard or carabiner prevents loss on the trail.
Whether hiking in the Alps, orienteering in forests, survival training, hunting, military exercises or simply as a reliable GPS backup – a good compass belongs in every kit. BCB International has supplied armed forces worldwide for over 160 years and brings this experience to every product.

The BCB Mini Compass II is a compact field compass with a liquid-damped capsule and luminous markings – ideal for quick orientation in the field. The BCB Map Compass additionally features a transparent baseplate with scales and a magnifying lens, making it the top choice for working with topographic maps.
The Button Compass is an ultra-light micro compass measuring just 20 mm in diameter. It works as an emergency backup on a zip pull, in a survival kit or on a wristband. It reliably indicates north and at CHF 4.58 is a worthwhile addition to any main compass.
Yes. A compass works without batteries, without a mobile network and without a GPS signal – in any weather and any terrain. It is the most reliable form of navigation and serves as an essential backup when electronic devices fail.
A liquid-damped compass capsule is filled with a special fluid. This dampens the oscillations of the magnetic needle so it settles on north more quickly and steadily. This makes reading easier – especially while moving and in rough terrain.
We ship directly from our Swiss warehouse. You will typically receive your order within 1–3 working days. Shipping is free on orders over CHF 100.
