Here's what I have http://www.amazon.com/Suunto-MC-2-360-Compass-SS004252010/dp/B00A00O60U.
It has all the features that make a compass easy to use accurately for navigation i.e. transparent base, rotating bezel, sighting mirror, declination adjustment etc
Less important but kinda interesting is that it has a "global" needle which due to the way it's mounted binds less, and is also usable in the Southern hemisphere. The magnetic poles have a downward pull (i.e. in 3 dimensions) and a typical compass designed for the northern hemisphere compensates for that pull by having the "south" facing half of the needle heavier than the north keeping the needle flat. This works against the compass when you take it to the Southern Hemisphere by making the south part of the needle dip twice as much resulting in binding.
