Silva compasses and binoculars

In 1933, Björn, Alvar, and Arvid Kjellström invented the first liquid-filled compass, and our story began. Not only was it the first compass of its kind, but it also set the global standard for how navigation works today. Then, in 1935, we launched our first projector—Zeiler—and the SILVA brand was born.

Even today, we develop products for people who spend time outdoors.
With our products, you can go wherever you want, at any time of day and in any conditions.”
