TACS unveils a new design for its Lens Series inspired by the iconic vintage twins lens reflex camera.
Very cool, but way oversized.



Price is $579

https://tacs-image.com/product/atl/

Modern Silver features a silver-toned dial design resembling the original vintage twin-lens camera. Completed with a stainless steel case and skeleton movement, the twin-lens timepiece is paired with a brown raw-edge HORWEEN leather strap for a sleek contemporary take. Subtle yet unique, this classic silver and brown pairing is sleek and highly wearable, making Modern Silver the perfect timepiece to go with your everyday look.

Hey @BATMAN what is wrong with the name? Honestly question, just wondering if you just don't like it or is there another reason. Again, totally innocent question.

If all-American is important and 36 mm is what you need , this 36 mm release can attract you.

Just think it's a silly name that doesn't really mean anything. I mean, there are a lot of bad watch names out there and this one isn't like top 10 worst or anything, just don't like it.

And you can ask me anything or say anything, I won't be offended.

Yes! The WUS Dive Watch forum guys are speculating Doxa doesn't want to miss out now that Synchron is releasing them so they are quickly planning a release as well. Not sure if there is any truth in that as I don't follow either brand. Based on the response so far and how many people say they have ordered, I anticipate both variants selling out quite quickly.

Why do some watch manufacturers do this?

The watch is 14mm thick. No one will be wearing it without the case back.

Hahaha this was my thought exactly! I was thrown off initially, because I read it as thickness including crystal. This would at least be more in line with what watch companies typically say about thickness, even though I don't understand that method of thinking either. The watch won't exactly work well without a case back or crystal from my perspective, but maybe someone out there can report back on the merits of wearing a watch without one or both of those features

I was talking about Dimension. Collins is a perfectly fine name for a watch brand and kudos to the owner for not putting their full name as the brand name. But yeah, Dimension is a big meh.
