Housed in a weather-resistant matchbox-style case, the DP-65 is durable and compact, with a design that fits easily into a shirt or pants pocket for storage. But once you hit the open water, the combination hand-bearing/base-plate compass is ready to steer you in the right direction. The compass includes such features as a fixed declination adjustment system that's useful in areas with large magnetic variation, a luminous needle that's easy to read in poor lighting conditions, and a clinometer that measures the slope of any surface. Add in a jewel bearing and a highly accurate sighting hole and you have a reliable compass for virtually any outdoor application. The real star of the DP-65, however, is its global needle, which works anywhere on the planet. Previously, most compasses functioned well in only one of five geographic zones. That's because the compasses were balanced differently based on the zone's inclination, i.e., the vertical intensity and direction of the Earth's magnetic field. However, as people began to travel more, it became clear that globe-hoppers needed compasses with a greater geographical range. Suunto responded by developing two-zone systems--which work in either the northern or southern hemisphere--and one-zone systems such as the global DP-65. Now there's no need to purchase several compasses before embarking on your around-the-world eco adventure. Product Description MB-6 GLOBAL Review: Unique, compact design and well built - I need to preface this by saying I'm no expert in land navigation. I know enough to get by. However I did do a ton of research in selecting a compass and was surprised to find how many available models these days have annoying defects or other drawbacks. This model however seemed to stand out as not only lacking those annoyances, but it has several features that are, far as I can tell, fairly unique. -The sliding matchbox design is a plus for me as it means it closes up into a tidy rectangle with rounded corners, so it fits in a pocket without pointy bits. I'm not necessarily a fan of the fact that the only way to open it is to pull the lanyard, because I'm afraid it may eventually snap with time. However it shows no signs of doing so. -The case has a groove in the top with two glow-in-the-dark pieces you can aim much like the iron signs of a firearm when sighting. -The mirror is polished steel (non-magnetic, I checked) which is nice for durability and is also very clear. But what makes it very unique is that it drops down below the compass rather than above, which allows you to use the sights on the top without having to look through a hole, either when sighting a bearing or using the inclinometer to measure a height angle. The mirror can be a little fiddly as it slides freely when the compass is open. You can retract the mirror into the body when the compass is open by just tilting it. A final note is that this is the global version of this compass, and it appears that at least according to the map on the package (see photo), it is a *true* global compass. I saw another review from 5-6 months ago with a photo showing a different map on the package which showed it would not work in the farther parts of the southern hemisphere. I guess they made some small improvement to design? Review: Expert compass - Incredible design. Light weight, compact and versatile. I would not recommend this for someone starting out. If you don’t know the definition of the terms: grid magnetic angle, dip error, and avoiding an obstruction using an equilateral triangle, then don’t buy this. I absolutely love it. ## Features - Matchbox Compass: Great for wilderness skiing and ski orienteering, this high-performance compass has a super rugged protective housing and features needed in navigation at high elevation - High Elevation Navigation: This Global compass has a high-grade steel needle with jewel bearing, adjustable declination correction, mirror and notches for accurate direction taking, and a lanyard - Stay On Course: Made in Finland, Suunto mechanical compasses help you safely and accurately navigate the great outdoors; Great for Alpine skiing, hiking, trekking, mountain biking, trail running and more - Pioneering Exploration: Combining advanced engineering and thoughtful design with ultra-durable materials, our adventure ready compasses are fast, stable, and simple to use; No batteries required - Authentic Heritage: Founded in 1936, Suunto brings over 80 years of high-quality heritage craftsmanship, relentless accuracy, and pioneering innovation to our watches, compasses, and dive products ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FEWA86 | | Additional Features | Adjustable | | Best Sellers Rank | #222,041 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #441 in Compasses (Sports & Outdoors) | | Brand | Suunto | | Brand Name | Suunto | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 94 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00045235201037, 06417084160430 | | Included Components | Compass | | Item Dimensions L x W | 9.45"L x 3.62"W | | Item Type Name | Compass | | Item Weight | 0.08 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Suunto | | Manufacturer Part Number | SS014889000 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | SS014889000 | | Mounting Type | Lanyard Mount | | Product Dimensions | 9.45"L x 3.62"W | | Special Feature | Adjustable | | UPC | 045235201037 045235901142 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Suunto - **Item Weight:** 0.08 Kilograms - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 9.45"L x 3.62"W - **Special Feature:** Adjustable ## Images ![SUNNTO Compass: A rugged sighting compass in a protective matchbox case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-1uvpgBqL.jpg) ![SUNNTO Compass: A rugged sighting compass in a protective matchbox case - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711DJoe+SiL.jpg) ![SUNNTO Compass: A rugged sighting compass in a protective matchbox case - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WAiOYu27L.jpg) ![SUNNTO Compass: A rugged sighting compass in a protective matchbox case - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Joi9m1FlL.jpg) ![SUNNTO Compass: A rugged sighting compass in a protective matchbox case - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NMjiSVKUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique, compact design and well built *by G***T on April 27, 2022* I need to preface this by saying I'm no expert in land navigation.

I would not recommend this for someone starting out. If you don’t know the definition of the terms: grid magnetic angle, dip error, and avoiding an obstruction using an equilateral triangle, then don’t buy this. I absolutely love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact, light and effective for sighting headings *by K***A on September 26, 2021* The lanyard is already installed (unlike for a Suunto MC-2G), and you’re ready to go out-of-the box. The declination adjustment is easy, and the tool for it is attached to the lanyard. The metal mirror that slides and flips down is a bit unusual, but workable. The sights are a bit chunky, but well visible in low-light conditions, and good-enough for picking a landmark on your chosen heading. Overall, a good tool for sighting headings, even though it’s not quite as comfortable for map work as an MC-2G. ## Frequently Bought Together - SUNNTO MB-6 Compass: A rugged sighting compass in a protective matchbox case - SUUNTO Multifunctional Compass, Northern Hemisphere, Compact Waterproof Navigation Comapss for Hiking & Adventure - Suunto Compass M-9 NH, Northern Hemisphere, with Velcro Wristband, SS004403001,Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/25600895-sunnto-compass-a-rugged-sighting-compass-in-a-protective-matchbox](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/25600895-sunnto-compass-a-rugged-sighting-compass-in-a-protective-matchbox) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
