<p>The Silver Petrichor is a Nomods original — not a homage to any existing watch, but a design language we developed from scratch. Inspired by the flowing curves of 1960s and 1970s vintage watchmaking, the Petrichor case features soft, organic lines that set it apart from the angular profiles dominating the mod scene. Machined from 316L stainless steel with a brushed silver finish, fitted with a domed sapphire crystal, and sized at 37 mm for a refined wrist presence. Compatible with NH35 and NH36 movements, this case is ready for your next build.</p><h2>Specifications</h2><table><thead><tr><th>Specification</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Diameter</td><td>37 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Material</td><td>316L Stainless Steel</td></tr><tr><td>Finish</td><td>Brushed silver</td></tr><tr><td>Crystal</td><td>Domed sapphire (pre-installed)</td></tr><tr><td>Movement Compatibility</td><td>NH35, NH36</td></tr><tr><td>Dial Fit</td><td>28.5 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Crown</td><td>Screw-down, included</td></tr><tr><td>Bracelet</td><td>Integrated stainless steel</td></tr><tr><td>Water Resistance</td><td>Depends on proper gasket installation during assembly</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Compatibility</h2><p><strong>Movements:</strong> NH35 and NH36.

We did not set out to replicate an existing watch — we wanted to create something that felt like it could have come from the golden era of case design in the 1960s and 1970s, when curves were generous and cases hugged the wrist. The domed sapphire crystal is central to this vision: instead of a tall, flat crystal sitting above a deep rehaut, the dome follows the case contour, keeping the overall profile slim. Every case is individually checked for finishing quality — brushing consistency, edge sharpness, and crystal seating — before shipping.</p><h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2><div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/FAQPage"><div itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"><h3 itemprop="name">What movements fit the Petrichor case?</h3><div itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text">The Petrichor is designed for the NH35 and NH36 movements.

<p>The Rose Gold Petrichor brings warmth to our original case design. The same 37 mm platform with its vintage-inspired curves, domed sapphire crystal, and low-profile silhouette — finished in rose gold PVD over 316L stainless steel. The rose gold tone shifts between pink and copper depending on the lighting, giving the case more visual depth than a single flat color. This is a Nomods original design, not a homage to any existing watch. Built for NH35 and NH36 movements with a 28.5 mm dial opening, ready for your custom build.</p><h2>Specifications</h2><table><thead><tr><th>Specification</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Diameter</td><td>37 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Material</td><td>316L Stainless Steel</td></tr><tr><td>Finish</td><td>Rose gold PVD</td></tr><tr><td>Crystal</td><td>Domed sapphire (pre-installed)</td></tr><tr><td>Movement Compatibility</td><td>NH35, NH36</td></tr><tr><td>Dial Fit</td><td>28.5 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Crown</td><td>Screw-down, included</td></tr><tr><td>Bracelet</td><td>Integrated stainless steel, rose gold PVD</td></tr><tr><td>Water Resistance</td><td>Depends on proper gasket installation during assembly</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Compatibility</h2><p><strong>Movements:</strong> NH35 and NH36.

Where most PVD-finished cases use angular, modern shapes, the Petrichor’s flowing 1960s-inspired contours give the rose gold coating more surface area to play with light. The curves catch and release light gradually rather than in sharp facets, which makes the rose gold read as richer and more nuanced than it would on a flat-sided case. The domed sapphire crystal follows this same philosophy — a curved surface that keeps the profile low while adding visual depth from every angle. Each case is checked for PVD consistency and finishing quality before shipping.</p><h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2><div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/FAQPage"><div itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"><h3 itemprop="name">What movements fit the Petrichor case?</h3><div itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text">The NH35 and NH36 movements.

<p>The Gold Petrichor captures the warmth and presence of vintage luxury watchmaking. This 37 mm case channels the golden era of the 1960s and 1970s, when watch design prioritized flowing curves over sharp angles. The gold PVD finish over 316L stainless steel gives the Petrichor a rich, warm tone that catches light across its curved surfaces. Fitted with a domed sapphire crystal and compatible with NH35 and NH36 movements, this is a Nomods original design — not a homage — built for modders who want something distinctive in their collection.</p><h2>Specifications</h2><table><thead><tr><th>Specification</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Diameter</td><td>37 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Material</td><td>316L Stainless Steel</td></tr><tr><td>Finish</td><td>Gold PVD</td></tr><tr><td>Crystal</td><td>Domed sapphire (pre-installed)</td></tr><tr><td>Movement Compatibility</td><td>NH35, NH36</td></tr><tr><td>Dial Fit</td><td>28.5 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Crown</td><td>Screw-down, included</td></tr><tr><td>Bracelet</td><td>Integrated stainless steel, gold PVD</td></tr><tr><td>Water Resistance</td><td>Depends on proper gasket installation during assembly</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Compatibility</h2><p><strong>Movements:</strong> NH35 and NH36.

Gold-tone watches dominated the 1960s and 1970s, and the Petrichor’s curves were drawn with that era in mind. The gold PVD coating is applied via Physical Vapor Deposition for durability that outlasts traditional plating. On the Petrichor’s rounded surfaces, the gold finish creates a continuous gradient of light and shadow rather than the flat gleam you get on angular cases. The domed sapphire adds to this effect — it rounds off the top of the watch, so the entire profile reads as one smooth, warm shape. Each case is inspected for PVD uniformity and finishing consistency before it ships.</p><h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2><div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/FAQPage"><div itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"><h3 itemprop="name">What movements fit the Petrichor case?</h3><div itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text">The NH35 and NH36 movements.

<p>The Black PVD Petrichor is the stealth variant of our original case design. The same 37 mm vintage-inspired silhouette with flowing curves and a domed sapphire crystal, finished in deep black PVD over 316L stainless steel. The black coating absorbs light where the silver version reflects it, giving the Petrichor a completely different character — understated, modern, and deliberate. This is a Nomods original, not a homage. Compatible with NH35 and NH36 movements with a 28.5 mm dial opening. Ready for your darkest build.</p><h2>Specifications</h2><table><thead><tr><th>Specification</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Diameter</td><td>37 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Material</td><td>316L Stainless Steel</td></tr><tr><td>Finish</td><td>Black PVD</td></tr><tr><td>Crystal</td><td>Domed sapphire (pre-installed)</td></tr><tr><td>Movement Compatibility</td><td>NH35, NH36</td></tr><tr><td>Dial Fit</td><td>28.5 mm</td></tr><tr><td>Crown</td><td>Screw-down, included</td></tr><tr><td>Bracelet</td><td>Integrated stainless steel, black PVD</td></tr><tr><td>Water Resistance</td><td>Depends on proper gasket installation during assembly</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>Compatibility</h2><p><strong>Movements:</strong> NH35 and NH36.

The same curves that read as warm and vintage in silver or gold become stealth and modern in black. The PVD coating is applied via Physical Vapor Deposition for long-term durability — this is not paint or anodizing, but a molecular-level surface treatment that bonds to the steel. On the Petrichor’s rounded contours, the matte black finish creates subtle gradients of light across the case surface rather than the flat, lifeless black you get on angular cases. The domed sapphire crystal sits flush with the case profile, maintaining the seamless silhouette that defines the Petrichor. Each case is checked for coating uniformity and finishing quality before shipping.</p><h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2><div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/FAQPage"><div itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"><h3 itemprop="name">What movements fit the Petrichor case?</h3><div itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text">The NH35 and NH36 movements.

<p>The Gunmetal Gray Petrichor sits between the bright silver and the deep black — a darker, industrial-leaning tone that reads as serious without going fully stealth. The same 37 mm Nomods original design with vintage-inspired curves, domed sapphire crystal, and low-profile silhouette, finished in gunmetal gray PVD over 316L stainless steel. The gray tone has a subtle metallic depth that shifts in different lighting, darker indoors and more reflective in sunlight.

Where the silver, gold, and rose gold variants lean into the case’s vintage design roots, the gunmetal gray pushes it toward a contemporary tool-watch sensibility. The PVD coating is applied via Physical Vapor Deposition for durability that matches or exceeds the other Petrichor finishes. On the Petrichor’s curved surfaces, the gray creates a unique optical effect — the tone appears to darken in concave areas and lighten on convex surfaces, giving the case a three-dimensional quality that flat-sided cases cannot reproduce. The domed sapphire crystal maintains the seamless, flowing profile. Each case is inspected for PVD uniformity and finishing consistency before shipping.</p><h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2><div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/FAQPage"><div itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"><h3 itemprop="name">What movements fit the Petrichor case?</h3><div itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer"><p itemprop="text">The NH35 and NH36 movements.

Das Petrichor Silber Gehäuse ist ein Nomods-Original — keine Hommage an eine bestehende Uhr, sondern eine Designsprache, die wir von Grund auf entwickelt haben. Inspiriert von den fließenden Kurven der Uhrmacherei der 1960er- und 1970er-Jahre zeigt das Petrichor-Gehäuse weiche, organische Linien, die es von den eckigen Profilen abheben, die die Modding-Szene dominieren. Aus 316L-Edelstahl gefräst mit einer silbergebürsteten Endbearbeitung, versehen mit einem gewölbten Saphirglas und mit 37 mm dimensioniert für eine raffinierte Handgelenkspräsenz. Kompatibel mit NH35- und NH36-Werken — dieses Gehäuse ist bereit für deinen nächsten Bau.

Kompatibilität
Uhrwerke: NH35 und NH36. Das Petrichor ist primär für diese beiden Werke ausgelegt — im Gegensatz zum Seikonaut-Gehäuse, das auch NH7x-Skelettwerke aufnimmt. Wenn du ein Skelett-Petrichor bauen willst, brauchst du das NH72-Werk, das dieselben Abmessungen wie das NH35 hat.
Zifferblätter: 28,5 mm. Kompatibel mit Royal-Oak-Style-Zifferblättern, Waffel-Zifferblättern und anderen 28,5-mm-Zifferblättern für NH35-basierte Builds.
Zeiger: jede NH-kompatible Zeigergarnitur (Stunde 1,50 mm, Minute 0,88 mm, Sekunde 0,20 mm).
Lieferumfang
- Petrichor-Gehäusekorpus (316L-Edelstahl, silbergebürstetes Finish)
- Gewölbtes Saphirglas (vormontiert)
- Krone (verschraubt)
- Dichtungen (vormontiert)
- Integriertes Edelstahlarmband
Werkzeug ist nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten. Für den Zusammenbau benötigst du einen Gehäuseöffner, eine Zeigersetzpresse, einen Stiftschneider und einen Werkhalter.
Designed by Nomods
Das Petrichor ist unser eigenes Design. Wir wollten keine bestehende Uhr nachbauen — wir wollten etwas erschaffen, das wirken könnte, als käme es aus dem goldenen Zeitalter des Gehäusedesigns der 1960er und 1970er, als die Kurven großzügig waren und die Gehäuse das Handgelenk umschlossen. Das gewölbte Saphirglas ist zentral für diese Vision: Statt eines hohen, flachen Glases über einem tiefen Rehaut folgt die Wölbung der Gehäusekontur und hält das Gesamtprofil schlank. Jedes Gehäuse wird einzeln auf Verarbeitungsqualität geprüft — Bürstkonsistenz, Kantenschärfe und Glassitz — bevor es versandt wird.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Welche Uhrwerke passen in das Petrichor-Gehäuse?
Das Petrichor ist für die Werke NH35 und NH36 ausgelegt. Das NH72-Skelettwerk passt ebenfalls, da es die gleichen Außenmaße wie das NH35 hat. Andere NH-Werke mit demselben Footprint sind ebenfalls kompatibel.
Welche Zifferblattgröße passt ins Petrichor?
28,5-mm-Zifferblätter. Dazu zählen Royal-Oak-Style-Zifferblätter, Waffel-Zifferblätter und andere Aftermarket-28,5-mm-Zifferblätter für NH35-basierte Builds. Verwende keine 30,8-mm-Zifferblätter — sie passen nicht in dieses 37-mm-Gehäuse.
Passen NH72- oder NH70-Skelettwerke ins Petrichor?
Das NH72 passt, weil es dieselben Gehäusemaße wie das NH35 hat. Das NH70 hat ebenfalls denselben Footprint. Das Petrichor wurde jedoch primär mit NH35 und NH36 entwickelt und getestet. Für einen Skelettbau ist das NH72 die empfohlene Wahl.
Ist das Petrichor eine Royal-Oak-Hommage?
Nein. Das Petrichor ist ein originäres Nomods-Design. Es bildet weder den Royal Oak noch den Nautilus noch eine andere bestehende Uhr nach. Das Design lässt sich von der breiten ästhetischen Strömung der 1960er und 1970er inspirieren — einer Ära, die durch fließende Kurven und integrierte Gehäusedesigns geprägt war —, aber die spezifischen Linien, Proportionen und Details des Petrichor sind komplett eigen.
