The face dial is calibrated in degrees starting with 0, every 10 degrees marked to 330, completing the 360 degrees; N, E, S, and W and the lines marking them from the centre are in bold face blue N/E, S/E, S/W and N/W are in blue but smaller lettering. On the opposite side of the compass the outer ring is blue and the inner ring is orange, the background is white with the degrees in black; the needle is black also. The outer “inches to miles” compass has 39 on the top and every fifth degree is calibrated to 3, then 6, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36 where it comes full circle to the top at 39. The inner “Nautical Miles” starts with 0 at the top and every 10th degree is marked in succession by 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, until it comes full circle to 0. The word “GERMANY” is printed at the bottom of the compass.
