Petrichor Case
Petrichor Case
We’re proud to introduce our first Original design! This case has been in the making for over a year, with production kicking off during the rainy autumn months — which inspired its name: Petrichor.
The case draws inspiration from several charming quirks of the 60s and 70s, while delivering modern functionality — including 100M water resistance, a quick-adjust buckle, and a sapphire crystal.
To overcome the limitations of the NH35 movement, we opted for a domed sapphire crystal — allowing the bezel to sit as low as possible and giving the case perfect proportions at a compact 37mm.
FAQs
A “Seiko Mod” refers to a custom Seiko watch that has been altered to match an individual’s style or functional needs.
Modifications can be purely aesthetic, such as changing the dial, case, hands, or bezel, or functional, such as improving movement accuracy or durability with features like water resistance. These modifications provide watch enthusiasts the opportunity to create a unique timepiece that fits their personal preferences and enhances their watch-wearing experience.
Seiko modding is a fun and creative way to customize your watch. If you’re just starting, you’ll need basic tools and parts like dials, braces and hands to personalize your timepiece. Explore our shop for compatible parts, and feel free to reach out for help identifying the right components or installing them. Our resources are here to make your modding journey easy and enjoyable!

I’ve always loved the look of the Royal Oak, really any Genta case design. I’ve been a fan of his work for as long as I can remember. When I came across the Nomods website I was blown away. Not only did they sell one of my favorite case designs of all time, they sell it in a wide variety of color options and what I consider the perfect size. There are other Royal Oak cases out there but this is the only one in 37mm that takes a 28.5mm dial with zero modifications. I’m very excited to see what Nomods has planned for the future with new releases. They are doing things no other mod store is doing.
Mathias from Nomods is excellent, and very responsive. I had a few questions about the product and he got back to me right away and was very helpful. I ended up buying the 37mm AP case and skeleton dial and they are beautiful and well made. I appreciate the quality and customer service!!
Shopping was fast to the USA. The case is of great quality. Nobody is doing the RO case in 37mm which fits my wrist so much better than those big ones on AliX. Not to mention the quality is worlds better than AliX. I really look forward to what they have coming down the pipeline. I see they have a new design in the works that looks incredible and very unique. I now follow them closely on Instagram so I don’t miss a thing. Can’t wait for what’s next!
The case is perfect and its great to find a Royal Oak style case in a smaller size. Had a self imposed issue with case back screws and after emailing the nomods team they got back to me extremely fast with a solution and replacements. Couldn't be happier with the product and the service.
I just received the watch. It's amazing. Much better in person than it looks in the pictures. It came with a custom box and a tool for adjustments. I asked Mithas to adjust it to my wrist size, and it was perfect. I ordered the 37mm, and it's perfect for my 7-inch wrist. As soon as I wore the watch, it looked quite elegant. I highly recommend it. If you like what you see in the pictures, you are going to love the watch.
The case is really great built and the tolerances are great, there a couple of hairlines on the bracelet but it's not a big deal. The finishing is in line with the asking price and the extra set of screws is complete with every replacement.
Overall this is a great purchase and Mathias was super kind during the ordering phase. Now my AP collection is complete!
Quality oak style case very impressed. Packaging was nice and secure, comes with useful tools as well. Only point of criticism is no half link but was told these will be available in march!
Nomods was very helpful with the question i got.
Delivery was a little long due too christmas and new year.
Quality of the product blow mymind nothing to compare on what you found elsewhere, the finish, the saphire crystal, bracelet can be adjusted easely.
Movement dial and hands where easy to assemble.
Most expensive case I've ever bought, but im very very happy. One screwhead broke of while adjusting the bracelet, but I got a new link + screw without any problems. Absolutely would buy again.
Kjøpte en klokke Sommer 2024 og kunne aldri vært mer fornøyd. Klokken sitter solid og komfortabelt på håndleddet. Ekstremt god service og veldig mye klokke for pengene. Anbefales
Great finish, easy install
Paired with the 37mm case this dial fit perfectly and looks great!
Love the case. Great size and the quality is excellent. The case, bracelet and clasp all feel very nice on the wrist
Movement of choice for my first build. Received packed well with no issues after the build
