You may well ask what use is an analogue compass bezel is in a time when GPS devices are so ubiquitous. Some would argue that we have developed an unhealthy obsession with technology and have become over-reliant on it. For instance, how many of us could light a fire without matches, or distinguish toxic mushrooms from edible ones without Google? A compass bezel represents the essence of human ingenuity and capacity to improvise, adapt and overcome. In a world where we are constantly tethered to satellites, it’s unlikely you will need it every day, but you might need it one day. Ex-British Army Commando and bushcraft survival expert Harrie Ellaway believes one of the best ways to reorientate is to go right back to basics, and that there’s no better place to test a person’s resilience than in the wilderness. It’s also an ideal environment to field-test OW’s latest tactical watch.
