The Bremont Terra Nova HRR Chronograph: A Dashing Homage to the Henley Royal Regatta

In a refreshing twist on their original Terra Nova collection, luxury watchmaker Bremont showcases their latest model - the Terra Nova HRR Chronograph. This piece pays tribute to Henley Royal Regatta’s rowing culture, serving as an official timepiece of the beloved British event. A limited series of just 150, it carries a distinctive blue-and-white design, departing from the collection’s traditional earthy tones.

The dial adopts a glossy white lacquer paired with deep blue matte sub-dials and a royal blue ceramic bezel, decorated with crossed oars at 12 o’clock, a nod to its regatta inspiration. Central to the design is a mint-green chronograph hand, mirroring the regatta’s iconic deckchairs. The dial houses the HRR logo above the date window and for the first time carries the engraving ‘HENLEY ON THAMES’, establishing a clear link to the regatta’s century-old tradition.

The design elements, backed by a robust 904L stainless steel case, bring a real sense of the river to the wrist. It’s not just the look that impresses in this 42.5mm watch – under its hood, it runs with the BC77 chronograph movement, boasting a generous 62-hour power reserve. Beyond the timepiece’s obvious connection to the regatta, it further accentuates its maritime roots with a choice of a stainless steel bracelet or a blue embossed leather strap with white stitching. The Bremont Terra Nova HRR Chronograph strikes the balance between functionality and form, making it an attractive choice for watch enthusiasts and rowers alike.
