[Nomos] Does anyone else find the new Nomos release weird?

From the webpage regarding the new Tangente 2DATE model:

This Tangente, with a diameter of 37.5 millimeters, has two date displays in red that complement each other >harmoniously. The exclusive NOMOS ring date—in a hand-wound watch for the first time here—shows the >entire month; meanwhile, the large date window at 6 o'clock focuses on the current date. At midnight or when >the quickset function is activated, the two displays set the white silver-plated dial with rhodium-plated hands >in motion in a way that is doubly beautiful.

Well, I do appreciate the 5ATM WR, AR coatings, and beautiful movement decoration. However, I don't grasp the rest of this release's idea. A double date? Who needs that? And even longer lugs compared to the older 37.5 mm model? 49.3 mm vs 47.7 mm.

EDIT: Looks like the specs have been updated, and now they state the lug-to-lug as 47.7 mm, just like in the other 37.5 mm case.
