Created as a numbered edition of only 500 units made in Italy, this celebratory eyewear stems from the meeting of two design languages united by the same vision: transforming technical innovation, formal research, and manufacturing culture into an essential and timeless object.
The wraparound shield silhouette recalls the enveloping, aerodynamic proportions of iconic 1990s Oakley eyewear — a format that helped define the brand’s most radical and innovative design language. Reinterpreted through a contemporary titanium structure, the frame expresses a technical and sophisticated presence, designed to combine comfort, lightness, and formal purity.
The fluid surfaces of the frame clearly reference the Beretta 486 by Marc Newson, one of the most iconic projects in the recent history of Fabbrica d’Armi Pietro Beretta. Smooth transitions, continuous volumes, and sculpted geometries reinterpret the shotgun’s language through a contemporary sensibility, creating a natural balance between firearms heritage and industrial design.
Celebratory details are discreetly integrated into the construction. Blue inserts recall the historic “Gun Blue” finish, deeply tied to firearms tradition and Beretta luxury shotguns. The inner temple features an individual progressive number, while the engraved Beretta logo on the lens adds a refined technical detail. The Beretta 500 Years logo on the nose pad completes the object with an essential identity reference.
A dedicated polished metal clamshell case accompanies the project, inspired by the vacuum-formed shapes of technical holsters used in the firearms world—a natural extension of the eyewear itself, evoking precision, protection, and design research.
The result is a collector’s item that synthesizes five centuries of Beretta tradition with Oakley’s radical vision of contemporary design: a balance of innovation, performance, and industrial memory reinterpreted through Italian craftsmanship.
