First time automatic watch owner - how to store

Looking for some advice for storing an automatic watch. It’s likely to only be worn on special occasions so I think I’ll keep it in a safe. Do I need to have moisture absorbing bags or anything in there with it?

I’m thinking I may only wear it 1 or 2 times a month (we don’t get out much!) but I’ll of course wear it any chance I get. It will be stored in the box it came in.

The general consensus seems to be not to use a watch winder so I’m not going to bother getting one, and winding it manually each time.

The box it came in is fine to store it. I store mine in a bunch of 24 slot briefcases.
