DynamicNord COM-1 Wrist Compass

A standard-size, oil-compensated wrist compass — the plain, reliable kind that gets handed to students and still ends up on instructors' wrists years later.

It reads clearly from above and from the side, which matters more than it sounds: side-reading is how you hold a heading while swimming rather than stopping to look down. The red needle is easy to pick up in low visibility.
