Art of Life chronograph by Philip Morris

I'm a little confused by today's watch. The name on the back suggests it is by Philip Morris and the only reference I found to this name is the tobacco giant. This would suggest that it was a promotional watch, but the name is only on the back so it isn't advertising...

The watch is called Art Of Life and is a chronograph design. It has a 3 hand dial with a carbon fibre (style?) face. The seconds hand on the main dial is actually part of the chronograph, with the real seconds hand being the bottom of the 3 other small dials on the face. The other small dials cover 24hr time (at 3 o'clock), and chronograph minutes (at 9 o'clock). There is also a small date window at the 4:30 position. The only other information is that it is 5 bar water resistant.

It has quite a smart look, and the rubber strap has the same carbon fibre style pattern as the face. The strap is also a cut-to-size design so you need to watch out if bought second hand.
