Curvimeter – Mechanical Map Measurer 1960s–1970s

This mechanical curvimeter – also known as a map measurer or opisometer – is a classic precision instrument for measuring distances on maps. By rolling the small measuring wheel along a drawn route, the distance traveled can be read directly from the dial – without any calculations.

The colored dial with its concentric scales is typical for models from the 1960s and 1970s. The different colors represent various map scales and allow for direct reading of distances on hiking, road, or topographic maps.

At that time, curvimeters were standard equipment for hikers, cyclists, geographers, surveyors, and military personnel. Today, they are not only functional tools for lovers of analog navigation, but also popular collector's items and decorative objects for the desk.

The chromed metal casing and the ribbed grip give the instrument a high-quality feel and emphasize the technical charm of this era.
