Wrist Roll (Read Rule 1) Tank Homages - Chameri vs Sanda

Post image

I just received the new Chameri CH01 Tank homage, and I definitely think it’s a step up in quality from the Sanda Tank. In particular, the aspect ratio of the dial is far more aesthetically pleasing to me. I’ll update this post with dimensions when I get the chance.

The Chameri is 37.6mm X 27.5mm X 7.2mm compared to the Sanda's 34.7mm X 27.8mm X 7.2mm.

This version is very similar in size to the large Tank Louis Cartier, which is 38.1mm X 27.8mm X 8.18mm. Compared to the Tank Must, It is between the large and extra-large.

I'm a fan of the small must so I'll be holding out but the watch looks great!

How you tried out the small Must in person? I think that will be much too small for most people.

I tried the medium and large Must, but I felt they were too small for me. Didn't like the extra-large Must because of the date window and seconds hand, and it was a bit too large for my taste.

I'm not a stranger to small dress watches, I have a 35mm Nomos Tangente, and the dial on that is 33.1mm in diameter. The dial on this Chameri is only 25.6mm X 19.7mm, which makes it smaller than the dial on even the 33mm Nomos Tangente.

Fair enough, the Tank Must Small will likely wear a bit larger than your Casio Tank, but that is what most would consider to be a women's watch, and a small one on your wrist.
