If you're stuck on analogs, I love the Alpinist suggestion.  It's a classic Seiko adored by many.  I am also fond of my Nighthawk.  It has a rotating inner bezel for calculations, not really for compass readings.  I don't see how you could use an inner bezel as a compass reading without any kind of magnetic indicator though anyway. 

Reading through the manual for my Breitling it has the following, but uh, yeah this applies to every watch ever. Also, not accurate at all. 

In the Northern hemisphere

Point the hour hand precisely towards the sun. In relation to the watch dial, the point located midway between the current time and 12 o’clock indicates the South, the North being exactly opposite.

Yeah, here it is in a bit more detail. You can use any watch to roughly estimate your direction, you don't need the actual bezel.
