The Essential Details

Bremont‘s role as Official Timing Partner of Henley Royal Regatta has produced something more considered than a branded dial. The Terra Nova HRR Chronograph is a 150-piece limited edition built around a genuinely sport-functional complication: a dedicated stroke counter on the blue ceramic bezel insert, operated by the chronograph pusher, allowing rowers to track stroke rate and cadence during racing or training.

The case runs 42.5mm wide and 14.8mm deep in 904L stainless steel, the same grade used by Rolex for its corrosion resistance. Water resistance reaches 100 metres. Crossed oars appear at 12 o’clock; the HRR logo sits at 6 o’clock above the date window.

Design and Colour

Regatta on the Dial

The white lacquered dial carries navy applied numerals and indexes, with next-generation Super-LumiNova (green emission) throughout. Navy blue matte sub-dials contrast against white counter hands, maintaining legibility under river light or low evening conditions.

The mint, or “deck chair green,” chronograph hand is the single most arresting design decision. Its colour was lifted directly from the iconic deckchairs lining the Stewards’ Enclosure at Henley-on-Thames. For collectors seeking a dial with a verifiable colour origin story, that specificity counts.

A First for the Partnership

For the first time in Bremont’s HRR collaboration, “Henley-on-Thames” is printed on the dial. It is a small detail, but one that grounds the watch in place rather than simply in event branding. Henley-on-Thames is also home to Bremont’s 35,000 sq ft manufacture, The Wing, which opened in 2021, making the inscription a dual acknowledgement of both regatta and manufacture.

Movement and Build

BC77 Calibre

The BC77 movement runs at 28,800bph across 27 jewels, with a Glucydur balance wheel, Anachron balance spring, and Nivaflex mainspring. Power reserve stands at 62 hours. Functions include central hour/minute, a chronograph centre-sweep seconds hand, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, small seconds at 9 o’clock, and date at 6 o’clock.

The closed case back in 904L steel is decorated rather than exhibition-style, consistent with Bremont’s tool-watch philosophy. The domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal completes the build.

Strap Options

Two configurations are available: a 904L steel Terra Nova bracelet, and a blue embossed leather strap with white stitching and a decorated pin buckle. The lug width is 22mm.

Why Collectors Will Notice

Within Bremont’s current range, pieces such as the Supernova 41mm Tourbillon and the Moon Mission I illustrate the brand’s discipline around limited editions with a verifiable narrative. The HRR Chronograph follows that pattern: a production run of 150, a functional complication tied to the sport it celebrates, and colour coding that goes beyond decoration.

For GCC collectors drawn to British sporting heritage, the combination of a 150-piece ceiling, a purposeful stroke counter, and a dial inscription that places the watch in its exact geography makes this one of Bremont’s more tightly argued limited editions to date.
