Clipper L And B Nh Compass

OverviewHeritage is more than our history and products. It’s about the culture, people, and country that have shaped Suunto through the decades and made it become what it is today. Evolution is natural, yet some things remain an integral part of our brand and DNA; accuracy, robustness, reliability, design, and being Finnish to the core. Suunto was founded over 80 years ago by Tuomas Vohlonen, a Finnish adventurer. In 1936, unsatisfied with current technology, knee-deep in snow, and in the all-day Arctic darkness, he invented the liquid-filled compass with a steadier, more accurate needle. He was a revolutionary. And he was never lost. Way back in 1939, a Finnish soldier was shot by a Russian sniper during the Winter War. He lived to tell the tale. The bullet hit the Suunto M-311 field compass in his pocket. We don’t believe in luck, we believe that for over 80 years we have created products that will never let you down. For over 80 years we have been constantly learning and fine-tuning our technology, allowing us to create products you can rely on, even in the most extreme conditions. No, especially in the most extreme situations.
