Bonest Gatti BG7702 Transparent Skeleton Automatic Watch — 42mm, Gorilla Series

Bonest Gatti BG7702 Transparent Skeleton Automatic Watch — 42mm, Gorilla Series

The Bonest Gatti BG7702 Gorilla Series is a 42mm automatic mechanical watch with a transparent optical glass case — the entire case construction is clear, making the skeleton dial and movement components visible from the sides as well as the front. Open-work geometric spoke-inspired dial architecture with coloured frameworks, luminous hands, rubber strap and 3ATM water resistance. Four variants: blue/white (A1), orange/orange (A4), green/black (A2) and pink/black (A3).

Key Specifications

Variants — Four Colour Configurations

BG7702-A1: Blue geometric skeleton dial on white rubber strap — the most broadly appealing combination. The blue framework against the transparent case creates a clean, contemporary character.

BG7702-A4: Orange geometric skeleton dial on matching orange rubber strap — the most cohesive and energetic configuration. Full orange creates the most assertive visual identity of the four.

BG7702-A2: Green geometric skeleton dial on black rubber strap — the contrast between the bright green framework and the dark strap creates a strong visual tension. Green on transparent case is particularly effective as the green reads differently at each viewing angle.

BG7702-A3: Pink geometric skeleton dial on black rubber strap — the most distinctive of the four. Pink on a transparent skeleton watch is genuinely unusual. The pink/black contrast creates a sharp, fashion-forward combination.

Transparent Optical Glass Case

The BG7702’s case is constructed from transparent optical glass or polycarbonate — a clear material allowing full visibility of the internal dial architecture and movement from the case sides. This creates a floating effect: the skeleton dial appears suspended in space rather than enclosed in a metal housing.

Transparent watch cases require trade-offs compared to stainless steel: they are lighter, more susceptible to surface scratching than sapphire crystal and create a different wearing experience — the watch is primarily a visual object rather than a tactile metal instrument. The 15mm thickness at 42mm reflects the bulk of the case architecture, including the skeleton dial layers, transparent housing and movement.

Skeleton Dial Architecture

The dial uses an open-work construction — a geometric spoke-inspired framework in the selected colour leaves the movement components visible between the structural elements. The multi-layer dial creates depth: the coloured frame at the outermost layer, movement components at varying depths below, and the transparent case surrounding the entire structure. From different angles the dial presents different visual relationships between the layers.

Red accent markers at the hour positions provide time-reading reference within the open-work structure. The metallic hands sweep across the skeleton architecture.

Movement

The BG7702 uses a Citizen automatic movement — self-winding through wrist motion, no battery required. Citizen is a Japanese manufacturer; their automatic calibers are used across multiple watch brands. The movement is visible through the skeleton dial and the open case construction.

15mm Thickness

At 15mm the BG7702 is a thick watch by dress standards — appropriate for a bold sports-design skeleton watch but not suitable for formal contexts or wearing under a shirt cuff. The transparent case architecture, skeleton dial layers and movement housing contribute to this height. Buyers who are accustomed to thin dress watches (8–11mm) should note the 15mm before purchasing.

30m Water Resistance

3ATM — suitable for rain, splashes and handwashing only. The transparent optical glass case construction means lower water resistance than an equivalent stainless steel watch with the same ATM rating. Not suitable for swimming or submersion.

Who Is the Bonest Gatti BG7702 For?

The BG7702 is built for:

• Transparent case buyers who want the floating movement aesthetic — the see-through case creates an effect unavailable from metal-cased skeleton watches
• Bold colour buyers who want the full orange or pink + black combination on an automatic skeleton watch
• Statement watch buyers who want a watch that reads as a design object and conversation piece rather than a conventional timepiece
• Skeleton watch enthusiasts who want maximum movement visibility from all angles, not just through the dial

How It Compares

vs. OUPINKE 3268 Globe Skeleton — The OUPINKE has a stainless steel case with skeleton globe seconds display, Seiko automatic. The BG7702 has a transparent case with full skeleton dial — different aesthetic approaches to movement visibility; BG7702 is bolder and more contemporary.

vs. Bonest Gatti BG8004 Roulette — Another Bonest Gatti mechanical with a distinctive dial. The BG7702 prioritises transparency and skeleton architecture; the BG8004 prioritises the roulette complication.

vs. PINDU P6652 Rotating Roulette — Both are statement watches with distinctive dial mechanisms. The BG7702 is a skeleton transparency watch; the PINDU is a roulette rotating dial watch.
