H2O Kalmar DLC TiO2

By TLex H2O Watches are once again pioneering the use of new exotic metals and finishes for their dive watches; this time with a simple yet highly effect aesthetic enhancement known as, Titanium heat treating. This is an industrial process, where Titanium is heated to extremely high temperatures in order to increase its ductility; in other words to make Titanium, which is a fairly hard metal easier to work with.



TiO2 This process can also be carried out to achieve an incredible array of colors through rapid oxidation, that takes place during heating. Without getting too technical, the Titanium reacts with oxygen to create TiO2, a clear oxide that filters out light waves producing a spectrum of brilliant colors. Depending on how hot you heat the titanium would dictate which specific color tones are achieved. Blues are usually hotter, whereas bronze tones are cooler; purples are somewhere in between.



DIY Theoretically you could just stick your un-lumed H2O bezels and crown guards over a hot stove, couldn’t you? Yes, but because Titanium is so sensitive to contaminants such as air, dust, grease or moisture, and because overheating could cause deformity, meaning that your components might not fit back on the watch case properly after heat treatment it is probably best left to the experts.



INDUSTRY FIRST I have seen heat treated titanium components used in the automotive industry before, but have yet to come across them in the watch industry. The end result although dramatic is really quite beautiful, and because the Kalmar can be so easily reconfigured there is no risk of becoming tired with your new heat treated components, when the mood or situation takes you, you simply reconfigure your Kalmar. This is H2O’s philosophy, to give their timepieces the ability to transform and take on whatever appearance their wearer decides, and this is what makes H2O such an interesting choice.



COMING SOON H2O Watches are now working to produce a whole new range of TiO2 bezels and crown guards for the future. However these components aren’t yet available. But, when they are you could expect to find a number of color finishes, each of them slightly different from the next.



ONE OF A KIND For the moment H2O are offering this one of kind Kalmar DLC TiO2 with stunning heat treated Titanium bezel and crown guard set. Interested parties should email H2O Watches directly to check for pricing and availability. First come first served!

2011 Lamborghini Murcielago

Overview

Italian Lamborghini, you can apply for a manufacturer of sports cars, which produced the legendary Countach and the iconic supercar, that when the revelation in early 1970 has generated almost as many male and Reveries wall posters bedroom, Farrah Fawcett. Today, that DNA Countach - outrageous scissor-style doors, large V-12 engine, the stratospheric price tag - to live on the edge of the current Lambo, the Murcielago at high speed and flamboyant.



Power? Ah, yes: In the "standard" is 6.5-liter V-12 behind the driver's ears cut off with asphalt-shredding 632 horsepower. If this is not enough for you (perhaps you are related to Wernher von Braun), chooses the limited edition version of the 670-4 Super Veloce that the production of bumps at 661 horsepower (the same as the new Ferrari 599 GTO).

Both versions feed a full-time four-wheel drive with a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed E-gear auto clutch manual transmission. And if the scissor doors are too outrageous for you, try to edit Roadster, which also has the skin of more power than the standard LP 640 (although you must send the Lamborghini is only building 50 of the fall of the bowls) .

What's New

Presented both the Lamborghini SV - lighter and more efficient than the standard Murcielago - Roadster and a 2010 outdoor models. While the Roadster is a rare, SV is more juicy. About 220 pounds lighter than the LP 640, SV also sports the past has said the shock power, updated the BOD (larger, fixed rear wing), and carbon fiber trim cabin.

Interior

Start the V-12, and suddenly, you will not mind that: (a) you can not see anything behind you, (b) to save you need a supervisor, (c) leave may make you look like a circus clown .

Exterior

Look for the "Murcielago" word in the dictionary, and you will find the following definition: ".. In order to achieve the subtleties of Pamela Anderson Bikini Saran Wrap does not have to be the weak Humble servant."

Performance & Handling

Few vehicles that run on the land in this way. The "regular" LP 640 burns to 60 mph in under 3.5 seconds. OAS can do in just 3.2. Top speed, says Lamborghini, is well north of 200 mph (211 mph for the SV). Oscillates around shake 1.0 g, and the bat is much lighter on its feet than its size would suggest.

Safety

The Roadster adds a security turner bars that deploy automatically when the car starts to spin the turtle. Otherwise, the extras are minimal safety (no side airbags, no stability control).

The Blogs | NEW CARSFORD FOCUS RS500

Ford this week have unveiled the latest iteration of it's Focus RS line, the RS500. It's a homage to the original Sierra Cosworth RS500 and like it's predecessor, it'll also be limited to a run of just 500 cars. The car wil be making it's first public debut at the Leipzig Motor Show on April 9th.

The power levels are up to 350PS from the same 2.5 litre turbo charged powerplant. The power hike has been acheived by using a larger air-to-air intercooler, uprated air filter, a larger diameter downpipe, an uprated fuel pump and a remap to take advantage of the new parts. These numbers deliver a 0-60 of 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 164MPH. Not shabby for a car that's FWD.

The matt black finish is courtesy of a specially developed 3M foil wrap, the cars are actually metallic black underneath the wrap. Some splashes of colour are provided with red calipers, red 500 badging and blue RS badging.

The interior is finished with red detailing, a contrast to the blue provided on the standard RS Focus. The centre console has a carbon fibre finish and a unique plaque stating the cars model number. The front seats are bespoke Recaro sports items, which can be finished in leather.

To ensure the durability of these upgrades, the car has been subjected to a series of tests which have focused on the car's track capabilities. The tests included a massive stint at the Nordschleife, where Ford had three of their own racing drivers and a team of engineers complete a whopping 10,000KM non-stop of driving the Green Hell. After 500 laps, Ford were happy enough with the car and were confident that an eight minute laptime is within reach of the car.
