The case of the RM023 is made from titanium, a lightweight and durable material that is commonly used in high-end watches. The case measures 45mm in diameter and features a skeletonized design that allows the wearer to see the intricate inner workings of the watch. The sapphire crystal caseback offers a clear view of the movement and its finishes. The watch is water-resistant to a depth of 50 meters, making it suitable for occasional recreational swimming.

The dial of the RM023 features a black color scheme with white hour markers and hands, providing a high-contrast and legible display.

The RM023 also features Richard Mille’s signature tonneau-shaped case, which is inspired by racing cars and aerodynamics. The case is designed to be ergonomic and comfortable to wear, even for extended periods of time.
