From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Suunto M-2D represent durable, reliable, high quality navigational aids, which perform flawlessly in even the most demanding of conditions. Both models feature a large liquid filled capsule and adjustable declination correction scale. Another convenient feature of the models in this series is the serrated bezel ring, which is easy to turn even in cold conditions while wearing gloves. Due to their easy-to-read luminous markings and magnifying lenses, the compasses of the M-Series are also ideally suited to navigating in conditions of poor visibility.

From Backcountry.com:
"Suunto gave the M-2D Compass an adjustable declination and magnifying glass to help intermediate to advanced users find their way through the backcountry with accuracy. Set the declination at home and leave math equations out of navigation. This Suunto compass works anywhere in the northern hemisphere."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"The two models, which make up the M-Series (M-2, M-3), represent durable, reliable, high quality navigational aids, which perform flawlessly in even the most demanding of conditions. Both models feature a large liquid filled capsule and adjustable declination correction scale. Another convenient feature of the models in this series is the serrated bezel ring, which is easy to turn even in cold conditions while wearing gloves.
