The movement components are coated with similar anti-corrosion materials in Airbus jets, an element that's mainly aesthetic. It features a white-colored ceramic bezel plate.

The Richard Mille RM 50-02 AJC is the effect of a two--year collaborative design procedure that started having a visit by brand founder and namesake Richard Mille towards the Airbus construction facilities in France.
