Art That Reimagines Time
A masterpiece of mechanical engineering, the SO10 Kronos celebrates the passage of time by bringing the artistry of haute horlogerie into the heart of Beretta's most exclusive shotgun. Developed in partnership with Italian timepiece maker La Vallée, this one-of-a-kind creation features unprecedented side plates with sapphire crystal openings that reveal the intricate inner workings of the SO10 action, re-engineered with a newly developed opening system and elevated by refined watchmaking-inspired finishes. A celebration of time itself, the SO10 Kronos stands as a tribute to five centuries of uninterrupted innovation.
A Work of Mechanical Art
To achieve the extraordinary level of refinement of SO10 Kronos without compromising structural integrity, each side plate was reimagined as a single monobloc element, meticulously machined from solid high-strength alloy steel. At its heart, a gold trilobe spring secures the mechanism’s pins in place, replacing conventional screws with a sophisticated solution capable of withstanding even the most severe shocks. A newly conceived opening mechanism completes the design, allowing both side plates to open effortlessly with a simple twist of the curved safety catch integrated into the crystal.
Main Features
To balance the visual impact of the remarkable open-worked mechanism, the receiver is adorned with a refined English-style gold-inlaid border engraving that frames the action with timeless elegance and proportion. Discreet yet meaningful details elevate the design throughout, from the gold-inlaid 500 Years emblem on the underside of the receiver to the mirror-polished accents and intricate open-work motifs adorning the locking shoulders, top lever, and safety catch. Faithful to the Beretta SO10 tradition, the shotgun is stocked with Grade 5 walnut, enhanced by 80 meticulously hand-applied coats of Tru-Oil® to achieve extraordinary depth, luminosity, and tactile richness.
