🌴⚔️ The Palm Tree & Sword — The Signature of the BG9904

At the heart of the BG9904 is a dial design that immediately separates it from an ordinary skeleton automatic watch.

A prominent palm tree rises through the upper portion of the open-worked dial, while a sweeping curved sword extends across the mechanical architecture beneath it.

Rather than being printed decoration sitting on top of a conventional dial, these elements become part of the visual architecture of the watch. Mechanical components remain visible around and beneath them, creating multiple layers of depth.

The result is simultaneously mechanical, sculptural and symbolic — and instantly recognisable as the BONEST GATTI BG9904 Palm Tree Skeleton Automatic.

⚔️ Palm & Sword — A Powerful Visual Combination

Pairing a palm with a sword gives the BG9904 an even more distinctive identity.

For observers familiar with the Arabian Peninsula, the combination may carry particular visual resonance. Palm-and-sword imagery is recognisable within Saudi Arabian symbolism, where the country's national emblem features a palm positioned above two crossed swords.

The artwork of the BG9904 is distinctly its own: the watch features its own stylised palm-and-sword composition and should not be interpreted as an official Saudi Arabian national emblem or an official religious symbol.

Nevertheless, the combination of the flourishing palm and sweeping sword can naturally evoke broader ideas of prosperity, resilience, strength and heritage, giving the design additional meaning for wearers who connect with Middle Eastern and Arabian visual culture.

⚙️ Skeletonised Mechanical Architecture

Look beyond the palm and sword and another dimension of the BG9904 emerges.

Open sections of the dial expose portions of the mechanical architecture beneath, giving the watch the depth and visual complexity associated with skeleton automatic watches.

This layering is particularly effective because the mechanical components become the backdrop to the sculptural palm-and-sword artwork rather than competing with it.

As light moves across the dial and case, different components come into focus, allowing the appearance of the watch to change depending on viewing angle.

🌙 The Palm, Sword & Markers Come Alive After Dark

One of the BG9904's most dramatic characteristics becomes visible when the lights go down.

Luminous detailing highlights the dial markers and distinctive palm-and-sword artwork in low-light conditions.

Rather than limiting illumination to the hands alone, the BG9904 uses luminous detailing as part of the artistic identity of the dial.

The illuminated hour markers, palm-tree motif and sword create a dramatically different appearance in low light, allowing the symbolic artwork itself to become part of the night-time display.

Luminous brightness and duration depend on previous exposure to light and surrounding conditions.

⌚ Bold 45mm Tonneau Architecture

BONEST GATTI specifies the BG9904 at approximately 45mm in diameter and 12mm thick.

Its distinctive tonneau — or barrel-shaped — case provides the broad architectural canvas needed for the skeletonised construction and palm-and-sword dial.

The shape creates a much more contemporary wrist presence than a conventional round dress watch and works particularly well with the integrated-style rubber strap.

💎 Anti-Glare Sapphire Crystal

Protecting the intricate dial is anti-glare sapphire crystal.

Sapphire is highly valued in watchmaking for its excellent resistance to everyday scratching, while the anti-glare treatment helps maintain a clearer view of the layered dial and mechanical details beneath.

Sapphire crystal is highly scratch resistant but is not completely scratch-proof or impact-proof.

🖤 Fluorine-Rubber Sports Strap

BONEST GATTI pairs the architectural case with a fluorine-rubber strap, giving the BG9904 a modern luxury-sports character.

The manufacturer lists a wearable strap range of approximately 165–185mm and a square fine-steel pin buckle.

🔍 Transparent Caseback

Mechanical interest continues on the reverse of the watch through a transparent caseback.

It complements the skeletonised front by allowing the mechanical character of the BG9904 to remain part of the experience even when viewing the watch from behind.

Three Distinctive BG9904 Configurations

BONEST GATTI currently presents the BG9904 in green, black and gold configurations.

Each treatment changes the personality of the watch considerably: green emphasises the natural palm motif, black creates a stealthier mechanical appearance, while gold gives the architectural case and symbolic dial a more opulent character.

Colours and configurations are subject to current manufacturer and retailer availability.
