These watches would make a fantastic addition to any watch collection.
Who Are Zero Halliburton?
Zero Halliburton was founded by Erle Halliburton. It was the first brand to introduce aluminium luggage into the market in 1938. The brand’s products are designed to survive the tough environment of the Midwest oil fields. The brand produces a wide range of luggage and accessories that all use elements of the original designs. Today, the brand focuses on protection, strength and dependability. Zero Halliburton accessories combine unpretentious luxury with functionality to create reliable and long-lasting pieces.
The Seiko X Zero Halliburton Limited Edition Watches
The brand new watches flawlessly combine design elements from both Zero Halliburton and the iconic Seiko Presage Sharp Edged design. The dial of each watch is white and embossed with Zero Halliburton’s signature double-rib pattern. This embossing is complemented with the traditional Japanese hemp design that is well-known in the Seiko Presage range. This elegant, yet functional design is the perfect combination of both brands. The watches feature exhibition case backs that expose the automatic movements that power them. This allows the wearer to view and enjoy the reliable movement that keeps their timepiece ticking. Both of the watches are packaged in a Zero Halliburton polycarbonate case that has been specially designed with the iconic double-ribbed design. As these timepieces are limited edition, there are only 2000 pieces of each model available worldwide.
