Apollo 11, James Bond, Inception, Ocean's 11, and more...

 

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.
To commemorate the collaboration, the watch is also packaged in a Zero Halliburton polycarbonate case, with the box having the same iconic double-ribbed design of a classic Zero Halliburton case. This is the perfect little travel case for a watch, protected with thick foam padding, and with a pocket on the inside for tools and extra straps as well.

On offer today is two limited edition Zero Halliburton Seiko, with only 2000 pieces in each release, both the GMT and the classic time only sharp edge Presage. Please note that we only have one of each.
