Heavy-duty mechanical wrist compass designated as KHM (Marine Wrist Compass) was standard issue for Soviet Navy maritime officers, combat swimmers, and commando teams during the Cold War.
Built into a heavy metal or aluminum housing with a thick protective plastic or glass dome, this instrument was engineered to withstand harsh underwater environments. The casing was engineered for water resistance at operational depths typically ranging from 100 to 120 meters (330–400 feet). Featuring a dial diameter of roughly 55mm and an overall body width approaching 69mm to 80mm, the large format allowed readability in murky water or low-light conditions. The dial markers featured phosphorescent, non-radioactive luminous paint to ensure nighttime or sub-surface visibility. Mounted on wide, thick leather or rubberized straps designed to fit securely over bulky drysuits or wet suits.
Such KHM compasses were developed for Soviet naval divers and underwater engineers, designed to maintain reliability in extreme conditions - under pressure, low visibility, and cold water.
You're offerding on an excellent compass. Compass displays some minor wear on the finish due to storage and age, but is guaranteed to be fully functional, historical military item. Low serial # 24
