Rapper French Montana Inspires Limited-Edition Rolex Daytona with Moroccan Flair

Skeleton Concept, a French high-end watchmaking workshop specializing in high-end watchmaking and the customization of exceptional timepieces, has launched its new concept created for the American rapper of Moroccan origin French Montana.

The "French Montano Concept" breathes Moroccan colors. Based on a Rolex® Daytona 116520, the watch is revealed through a sapphire glass dial. The palette is green and red. The 12-hour chronograph sub-dial features Arabic numerals in another nod to the artist’s origins. The two versions of the "French Montana Concept" manufactured are: one in original Oystersteel with an anthracite PVD treatment and a satin-finished bracelet with polished flanks, the second uses a machined carbon case and a nylon strap, reports Hypebeast.

"This complex watch created with my cultural roots in mind by Skeleton Concept is synonymous with originality, precision and quality," says French Montana. "Bringing the French Montana Concept to life with visionary Kevin Novitch has been both inspiring and rewarding, especially to now have a watch that symbolizes my country." Skeleton Concept took five months to realize it. The "French Montana Concept" is available for order from Skeleton Concept at a price of €65,000 (about $65,000).
