<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.

<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.

Petrichor Sølv-kassen er en Nomods-original — ikke en hommage til noen eksisterende klokke, men et designspråk vi utviklet fra bunnen av. Inspirert av de flytende kurvene i vintage urmakeri fra 1960- og 70-tallet, har Petrichor-kassen myke, organiske linjer som skiller den fra de kantete profilene som dominerer modding-scenen. Maskinert i 316L rustfritt stål med børstet sølv-finish, utstyrt med hvelvet safirglass, og dimensjonert til 37 mm for en raffinert tilstedeværelse på håndleddet. Kompatibel med NH35- og NH36-urverk — denne kassen er klar for ditt neste bygg.

Kompatibilitet
Urverk: NH35 og NH36. Petrichor er primært designet for disse to urverkene — i motsetning til Seikonaut-kassen, som også tar imot NH7x skjelett-urverk. Planlegger du et skjelett-Petrichor-bygg, trenger du NH72-urverket, som deler de samme dimensjonene som NH35.
Urskiver: 28,5 mm. Kompatibel med Royal Oak-stil urskiver, waffle-urskiver og andre 28,5 mm urskiver laget for NH35-baserte bygg.
Visere: ethvert NH-serie kompatibelt visersett (timer 1,50 mm, minutter 0,88 mm, sekunder 0,20 mm).

- Hvelvet safirglass (forhåndsmontert)
- Krone (skrukrone)
- Pakninger (forhåndsmontert)

Designet av Nomods
Petrichor er vårt eget design. Vi prøvde ikke å kopiere noen eksisterende klokke — vi ville skape noe som kunne ha kommet fra gullalderen for kassedesign på 1960- og 70-tallet, da kurvene var generøse og kassene omfavnet håndleddet. Det hvelvede safirglasset er sentralt for denne visjonen: i stedet for et høyt, flatt glass over en dyp rehaut, følger kuppelen kassekonturen og holder den totale profilen slank. Hver kasse blir individuelt sjekket for finishkvalitet — konsistens i børstingen, kantskarphet og glassmontering — før forsendelse.
Vanlige spørsmål
Hvilke urverk passer i Petrichor-kassen?
Petrichor er laget for NH35- og NH36-urverk. NH72 skjelett-urverket passer også, da det deler samme ytre dimensjoner som NH35. Andre NH-serie urverk med samme fotavtrykk er også kompatible.
Hvilken urskivestørrelse passer i Petrichor?
28,5 mm urskiver. Dette inkluderer Royal Oak-stil urskiver, waffle-urskiver og andre 28,5 mm urskiver laget for NH35-baserte bygg. Ikke bruk 30,8 mm urskiver — de passer ikke i denne 37 mm-kassen.
Passer NH72 eller NH70 skjelett-urverk i Petrichor?
NH72 passer fordi det deler samme kassedimensjoner som NH35. NH70 har også samme fotavtrykk. Petrichor ble imidlertid primært designet og testet med NH35 og NH36. For et skjelettbygg er NH72 det anbefalte valget.
Er Petrichor en Royal Oak-hommage?
Nei. Petrichor er et originaldesign fra Nomods. Den kopierer hverken Royal Oak, Nautilus eller noen annen eksisterende klokke. Designet henter inspirasjon fra den brede estetiske bevegelsen i 1960- og 70-tallets urmakeri — en epoke definert av flytende kurver og integrerte kassedesign — men Petrichors spesifikke linjer, proporsjoner og detaljer er helt og holdent våre egne.
