The 'briefcase with something important in
it' is a film trope as old as time, but when the stakes are high - who
do you trust to carry your cash, nuclear codes, extra terrestrial
samples, diamonds, or biological weapons? Why Zero Halliburton of
course.
While the name Zero Halliburton might not ring any bells, I can
guarantee that you have seen one of their luxury cases in action, more
specifically, in action films. In fact, their cases have appeared in
over 200 notable films which includes Inception, Quantum of Solace, Men
in Black, Independence day, Mission impossible, Ocean's 11, Air force
one, The Big Lebowski and too many others to list. Often acting as a Macguffin,
these cases and their classic brushed aluminium design have become
iconic on the silver screen and beyond. Zero Halliburton even helped to
create the cases that were sent on the Apollo 11 mission to retrieve
lunar samples, and carry the precious cargo back to Earth. They are the
ultimate 'handle anything' travellers cases.
With strength, durability, and dependability at the forefront of their
products, who better to pair with than a company who stands for the same
very thing with their products - Seiko. Using one of Seiko's newer
releases (the Presage sharp edge series) as the base, they designed the
dial, and the bezel colour scheme around this collaboration. With the
dial having the iconic double-ribbed pattern of Zero Halliburton's
cases, and the bezel having the deep blue colour accent of their
'Pursuit Aluminium series' handles.
