Amazon.com Product Description
Set a course for adventure with this classic Omega Seamaster 300M stainless steel men's automatic chronometer watch, part of Omega's James Bond collection. You'll be able to negotiate all manner of adventures and still look stylish in the boardroom or at the baccarat table. This highly accurate, self-winding timepiece is also a great diving watch, with water resistance to 300 meters (1000 feet) and a helium escape valve, which allows helium to escape from inside the watch when the watch is worn in highly pressurized environments (such as long-term underwater work evading the bad guys). The large silver rhodium-plated case measures 41mm wide (1.61 inches) and it's complemented by a handsome stainless steel bracelet band. A blue elapsed time unidirectional bezel frames a wavy blue dial that includes luminous dotted hour markers, luminous-tipped skeleton hands, and a date window at 3 o'clock. Other features include a 48-hour power reserve and scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal.

It's powered by Omega's break-through Co-Axial escapement. Developed in conjunction with master watchmaker George Daniels, it's based on double co-axial escape wheel, a lever with three pallet stones and impulse stone on the balance roller, together with a free sprung-balance. The Co-Axial escapement system reduces sliding friction compared with the lever escapement and thus ensures greater accuracy over time.

This watch also features the Omega 2500 caliber automatic movement, which has been certified as a chronometer by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Control). Only 3 percent of watches produced in Switzerland are "chronometer-certified." To achieve this highly coveted certification, the movements are subjected to numerous tests over a period of 15 consecutive days and nights, in five positions and at three different temperatures.

The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.

But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Omega watches rocketed off to space on many subsequent missions, including visits to Skylab and the historic Apollo-Soyuz link-up of Soviet and American astronauts in 1975.

In more recent years, Omega created the world's first self-winding wristwatch with central tourbillon in 1994 and made history in 1999 with the first mass-produced watch incorporating the co-axial escapement, developed in conjunction with renowned English master watchmaker George Daniels. In simple terms, the escapement is the heart of a mechanical watch, generating the impulses that make the mechanism move. Omega's Co-Axial Escapement drastically reduces the friction among the parts that transmit energy to the other components, producing greater stability and precision and reducing service requirements.

Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y650


Lenovo’s consumer-oriented IdeaPad line grows more impressive with each new model. The IdeaPad Y650 shares a little DNA with the more buttoned-down ThinkPad line but turns up the volume with its style. Combine that with a gorgeous 16-inch screen, good productivity and multimedia performance, and some cool features.

Key Specs
Processor: 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8700
Memory: 4GB RAM
Storage: 320GB hard drive
Optical Drive: DVD+/-RW
Screen: 16 inches (1,366x768)
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce G 105M
Weight: 5.6 pounds
Dimensions (HWD): 1x15.4x10.2 inches
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium

The designers had even more fun under the lid, where a glossy black screen bezel contrasts strikingly (in a good way) with the glossy white surround of the white keyboard. The Y650 keeps a minimalist look, with just a few round buttons for volume, mute, and power. It’s aesthetically appealing, but we did miss dedicated multimedia control keys. Instead, above the function-key row is a touch-sensitive strip that brings up Lenovo Desktop Navigator: onscreen icons for launching the camera utility, face-recognition utility, OneKey backup/recovery tool, and Lenovo ReadyComm communications-settings applet. You can customize this strip with applications of your choosing.

The Y650 also includes a next-generation touch pad. It’s huge, which makes mousing around the large screen a pleasure. The pad also supports gestures for zooming, rotating images, and more. The mouse buttons were a little stiff, though, taking more pressure to activate than we’re used to. But we have no complaints about the full-size keyboard, which has very good key action.

The real draw of the Y650 is its screen. The 1,366x768 panel is particularly bright and crisp, and colors are exceptionally vibrant. Photos and graphics pop. HD purists will bemoan that the panel isn’t full 1080p (1,920x1,080), but for working in text-heavy applications, such as Microsoft Office or e-mail, the lower resolution makes for more readable fonts at the default setting. With the Studio XPS 16’s 1080p screen, for example, we found ourselves leaning in to read news stories on CNN.com; that wasn’t the case with the Y650.

Watching a DVD copy of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, we noted generally good color reproduction and some motion blur. Unfortunately, Lenovo doesn’t offer the Y650 with a Blu-ray drive, which is a shame for such a multimedia-centric notebook. The integrated JBL sound system delivered plenty of volume, with good stereo separation and decent bass, especially when using the Bass Boost feature of the included Dolby Home Theater utility. The Y650 also includes the OneKey Theater utility: Press the icon above the F10 key (pretty firmly, we should add) and the system automatically boosts the screen contrast and surround-sound setting.

Lenovo has preloaded other useful tools as well. We like the easy-to-use VeriFace 3.5 login utility, which you can use to keep unauthorized users out and to encrypt files so that no one else (aside from an identical twin, perhaps) can unlock them. The Lenovo Easy Capture camera utility is straightforward, and the 1.3-megapixel Webcam delivered excellent low-light performance, though in normal lighting highlight areas tend to get blown out.

Other features are typical for this class of laptop and include a spacious 320GB 5,400rpm hard drive loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium, Bluetooth and 802.11a/b/g/n wireless, and ExpressCard and memory-card slots. In addition to the two USB ports, you’ll also find HDMI and external Serial ATA (eSATA) connectors, a VGA port, and Gigabit Ethernet, but no modem (an increasingly common omission on laptops).

Our test system came equipped with a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 processor, 4GB of RAM, and the Nvidia GeForce G 105M graphics engine. Performance on our productivity and multimedia benchmark tests was impressive. The Y650 scored 3,928 on PCMark Vantage, which is about 900 points above the average for mainstream notebooks tested to date and almost 330 points higher than we saw from Dell’s Studio XPS 16. The Y650 needed only 6 minutes and 6 seconds to complete our Windows Media Encoder test, which is about 2 minutes faster than the average; it is one of the only laptops to finish our iTunes encoding trial in less than 4 minutes (3:58 to be exact). Its score of 5,150 on Cinebench 10 is also among the best we’ve seen for a mainstream laptop. Battery life, however, was a disappointing 1 hour 34 minutes on our DVD rundown test, so plan on buying a second battery if the Y650 is for road use.

The Nvidia GPU is decent for this class, but it’s no 3D powerhouse. The Y650 managed 2,648 on 3DMark06 at 1,024x768 and 2,341 at the screen’s native resolution, both of which are average for the class. Oddly, the game F.E.A.R. would not run, and the machine’s frame rates on the more demanding Company of Heroes were disappointing: 11.8 frames per second (fps) at the machine’s native screen resolution and 16.1fps at 1,024x768 with most effects set to High. By way of comparison, the Studio XPS 16 delivered 63fps at 1,024x768. That said, we did manage to get a good 89.1fps out of the Y650 by setting the screen resolution to 1,024x768 and dropping the effects settings (most notably physics) to low or medium.

G-POWER Supercharger System for BMW M5 and M6 V10


Supercharged BMW engines have many years of tradition at G-POWER. As early as in the 80ies, the legendary BMW G3 Bi-Turbo with 430 hp was developed on the basis of the 3 Series BMW E30, resulting from the collaboration with Alpina (from 1973-1983); today, the spearhead of the programme is the G-POWER M5 V10 HURRICANE RS with BI-Kompressor system and 750 hp, which, with a maximum speed of 228,3 mph, has held the world record as the fastest sedan since late 2008.

The here offered G-POWER BI-Kompressor system is a direct offspring from the 750 PS supercharger system of the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RS, but unlike the system of the world record car, the BI-Kompressor system features 0,4 bar (5,8 psi) boost instead of 0,8 bar (11,5 psi). This so called “soft charging” enables us to use the factory engine without any modifications, like compression reducing pistons or modified conrods.

All G-POWER supercharger systems have the unrestricted everyday practicability of the modified engines combined with an improved specific consumption and the BMW-typical reliability in common.

Characteristic product features:
- Supercharger from the well-known German original equipment supplier ASA
- Engine running characteristics and everyday practicability are maintained without restrictions
- Vehicle remains completely diagnosable
- Technical inspection and service at your own BMW distributor possible
- Economical consumption with respect to performance increase

G-POWER M5 V10 BI-Kompressor system - plus 93 hp
Basis: M5 V10, 507 PS (373 kW) increased to 600 PS (441 kW)/600 Nm
consisting of:

Forced induction: 2 x ASA T1-313 superchargers including overrunning clutch ASA K05; supercharger lubrication through bypass from motor oil circuit; twin ultra stiff CNC shaped supercharger bracket systems made from aluminium including an extended support aggregate belt drive for the superchargers' drive; two pneumatic controlled, engine load related valves for the boost control; twin flow optimized, large volumetric fresh air intakes made from carbon fibre; twin racing air filters. Boost level approx. 6 psi rel.

Intercooling: Twin high capacity, aero and body-sonic optimized intercooler systems using a low temperature circuit consisting of a low temperature intercooler (air to water) in the car's front and two return intercooler (boost to water) on top of the engine, right in front of the throttle valves, cooling liquid storage and separately controlled electrical pump.

Engine modification: 10 fuel injectors with enlarged mass flow.

Electronics: Custom made software for the standard BMW engine and SMG- transmission electronic control unit (BMW OBD stays completely untouched), enabling an unlimited top speed, according to the capacity of the tyres.
