The UR-101 T-Rex, with textured skin, scaly armor covering its bezel, sides and lugs measures 41 mm in diameter and 11.86 mm thick at its highest point. 

Its rounded design, provides the perfect base for this guilloché pattern.  This engraving first appeared on the UR-105 T-Rex, followed by the UR-100 T-Rex: “It’s a traditional guilloched dial pattern”, says Martin Frei. “We applied it to the entire surface of our case, right up to the edges. You can touch it. It has an animal, physical, almost visceral power.”  The engraved grooves start at the crown, running along the entire case in a low-gradient climb, up to the steep, curved slope leading to the back. 

The bronze from which the majority of the case is made is first guilloched before being oxidized and finally brushed. It will evolve over time, with its brown color becoming even more pronounced, without ever turning green. The same will happen to the inside of the scales, where the graver has been used, as well as for the lugs that are integrated to the back of the UR-101 T-Rex, slightly tilting the case.

“Bronze is a fabulous metal”, explains Martin Frei, “It reacts to the touch. It is alive. It re-oxidises as soon as it is scratched and this oxidation protects it and erases the traces of time. It is fascinating, as if reacting like the skin’s natural regenerating process”.

UR-101 T-Rex is a 100-piece limited-edition.
