KOMPAS Watches today announces the launch of its debut collection — an independent British watch brand defined by function-led design and inspired by the RAF Sector Clock. Originally developed for wartime operations rooms, the Sector Clock used colour-coded five-minute intervals to enable rapid orientation and clear decision-making under pressure. That principle of visual efficiency forms the foundation of KOMPAS.
The debut collection introduces four compass-point models — North, East, South and West — each aligned with a directional identity. Rather than replicating a historic instrument, KOMPAS translates the Sector Clock’s colour-coded five-minute logic into a modern dial architecture designed for instant legibility, structured time, and purposeful restraint.
Quote — Aslan Oral, Co-Founder: “KOMPAS is our response to overly decorative watches — prioritising performance and clarity for modern explorers.”
