Bremont’s Terra Nova line has quickly become one of the brand’s most adaptable modern collections, moving from field-watch colours into bronze, pink dials and more tactical territory.
The Terra Nova HRR Chronograph takes that platform somewhere more specific, tying it to the Henley Royal Regatta with a crisp river-ready palette and a bezel designed for rowing rather than decoration.
Limited to 150 pieces, it’s a sharper and more specialised take on the existing Terra Nova Chronograph.
At a glance
- Bremont has introduced the Terra Nova HRR Chronograph to mark its role as Official Timing Partner of the Henley Royal Regatta.
- The watch pairs a white lacquer dial with blue sub-dials, a royal blue ceramic stroke-rate bezel and a mint chronograph hand inspired by riverside deckchairs.
- Production is limited to 150 pieces, priced at EUR 6,350 on leather and EUR 6,650 on the steel bracelet.
A Terra Nova Chronograph dressed for Henley
Most Terra Nova Chronograph references have leaned into grounded colours such as black, green and brown, but the HRR edition moves decisively into nautical territory.
The white lacquer dial gives the watch a brighter character, while matte blue sub-dials and matching blue numerals keep the layout crisp rather than overly decorative.
At 12 o’clock on the royal blue ceramic bezel, Bremont places crossed oars, a small but clear nod to the event without overwhelming the watch.
The mint central chronograph hand adds the most playful detail, taking its cue from the deckchairs associated with the Henley riverbank.
The HRR logo appears above the date window at 6 o’clock, and “HENLEY ON THAMES” also appears on the dial, giving this edition a direct connection to the location as well as the sport.
The rowing bezel gives the partnership a practical edge
The most important change is the bezel, which replaces the compass-style scale found on the standard Terra Nova Chronograph with a strokes-per-minute counter.
Used with the chronograph, the scale lets a rower time a sequence of strokes and calculate stroke rate during training or racing.
That detail matters because it makes the watch more than a colourway for an event partnership.
It gives the Terra Nova HRR Chronograph a functional link to rowing, which is exactly the kind of specificity that makes a limited edition feel considered.
Case, movement and everyday wear
The fundamentals remain familiar for the Terra Nova Chronograph family.
The case is made from 904L stainless steel with satin-brushed and polished finishing, measuring 42.5mm across, 48.8mm lug to lug and 14.8mm thick.
Water resistance is rated to 100 metres, which suits the sporting brief without turning the watch into a full dive instrument.
Inside is Bremont’s BC77 automatic chronograph calibre, a chronometer-rated cam-actuated movement derived from the Sellita SW500 architecture.
It runs at 4Hz and offers a 62-hour power reserve, with central chronograph seconds, a 30-minute chronograph counter, running seconds and a date display.
Buyers can choose between a stainless-steel bracelet or a blue embossed leather strap with white stitching.
The bracelet gives the watch a more all-purpose feel, while the strap leans harder into the summer regatta aesthetic.

The Terra Nova HRR Chronograph will appeal most to collectors who like Bremont’s newer design language but want a watch with a more defined sporting brief.
Its Henley details are visible, but the real charm is that stroke-rate bezel, which turns a limited-edition chronograph into something with genuine relevance on the water.
