Brian Nystrom Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 ...which was in turn bought by Brunton, the current manufacturer of these compasses. The design of the dial has changed a bit over the years, but they all mount and fit the same. I found out that Brunton will honor the warranty on Silva and Nexus compasses, so if you have one that springs a leak or becomes discolored, contact them. They replaced a pair of compasses for me a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
