A lighter silhouette.
A round brushed case, thin polished bezel, curved lugs, and a practical conical crown distinguish COMPASS from the cushion-cased coastal watches.
Automatic field watch
COMPASS
A compact instrument watch built around immediate legibility: minutes at a glance, hours at the center, and a case shaped for everyday flight rather than historical reenactment.

Designed for orientation
Read the minute. Find your way.
COMPASS separates the minute track from the hour scale, giving the dial a clear visual hierarchy. A shared wave index at six quietly connects it to the wider four77 collection.
Information in layers.
Bold outer minutes and a smaller central hour ring create a contemporary Type B–inspired display without leaning too heavily on military nostalgia.
The wave remains.
The collection’s wave at six brings a small piece of the shoreline into a watch designed to navigate well beyond it.
Working specification

Four places. One clear instrument.
Orcas, Anacortes, Friday Harbor, and Deception Pass give the Compass family a shared sense of place—from island nights and working harbors to open water and fast-moving current.
