<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.

Le boîtier Petrichor Argent est un original Nomods — non pas un hommage à une montre existante, mais un langage de design que nous avons développé depuis zéro. Inspiré des courbes fluides de l'horlogerie vintage des années 1960 et 1970, le boîtier Petrichor arbore des lignes douces et organiques qui le distinguent des profils angulaires qui dominent la scène du modding. Usiné en acier inoxydable 316L avec une finition argent brossé, équipé d'un verre saphir bombé et dimensionné à 37 mm pour une présence raffinée au poignet. Compatible avec les mouvements NH35 et NH36, ce boîtier est prêt pour ton prochain build.

Compatibilité
Mouvements : NH35 et NH36. Le Petrichor est conçu principalement pour ces deux mouvements — contrairement au boîtier Seikonaut, qui accepte aussi les mouvements squelettes NH7x. Si tu envisages un Petrichor squelette, il te faudra le mouvement NH72, qui partage les mêmes dimensions que le NH35.
Cadrans : 28,5 mm. Compatible avec les cadrans de style Royal Oak, les cadrans waffle et autres cadrans 28,5 mm conçus pour les builds NH35.
Aiguilles : tout jeu d'aiguilles compatible série NH (heures 1,50 mm, minutes 0,88 mm, secondes 0,20 mm).

Conçu par Nomods
Le Petrichor est notre propre design. Nous ne cherchions pas à reproduire une montre existante — nous voulions créer quelque chose qui aurait pu naître à l'âge d'or du design de boîtiers, dans les années 60 et 70, lorsque les courbes étaient généreuses et les boîtiers épousaient le poignet. Le verre saphir bombé est central pour cette vision : au lieu d'un verre haut et plat posé sur un rehaut profond, le dôme suit le contour du boîtier et conserve un profil global mince. Chaque boîtier est inspecté individuellement pour la qualité de finition — régularité du brossage, netteté des arêtes et assise du verre — avant expédition.
Questions fréquemment posées
Quels mouvements s'adaptent au boîtier Petrichor ?
Le Petrichor est conçu pour les mouvements NH35 et NH36. Le mouvement squelette NH72 s'adapte également, car il partage les mêmes dimensions extérieures que le NH35. D'autres mouvements de la série NH avec la même empreinte sont aussi compatibles.
Quelle taille de cadran s'adapte au Petrichor ?
Cadrans de 28,5 mm. Cela inclut les cadrans de style Royal Oak, les cadrans waffle et autres cadrans aftermarket de 28,5 mm conçus pour les builds NH35. N'utilise pas de cadrans de 30,8 mm — ils ne s'adapteront pas à ce boîtier de 37 mm.
Le Petrichor accepte-t-il les mouvements squelettes NH72 ou NH70 ?
Le NH72 s'adapte parce qu'il partage les mêmes dimensions de boîtier que le NH35. Le NH70 a aussi la même empreinte. Le Petrichor a toutefois été conçu et testé principalement avec les NH35 et NH36. Pour un build squelette, le NH72 est le choix recommandé.
Le Petrichor est-il un hommage au Royal Oak ?
Non. Le Petrichor est un design original Nomods. Il ne reproduit ni le Royal Oak, ni le Nautilus, ni aucune autre montre existante. Le design s'inspire du large mouvement esthétique de l'horlogerie vintage des années 1960 et 1970 — une époque définie par les courbes fluides et les designs de boîtiers intégrés — mais les lignes, proportions et détails spécifiques du Petrichor sont entièrement les nôtres.
