Unusual Cal 12 -- Philip Watch Caribbean 2000

Here's one that I hadn't seen previously -- a Philip Watch Caribbean 2000, powered by the Caliber 12, said to be from the 1970s.

Interesting looking watch . . . waterproof to 1,000 meters. I am assuming that this one was not made by Heuer, but rather than Philip Watch was merely using the Cal 12 movement (as we have seen from Dugena, Kelek and several others).

Does anyone know anything about the "Philip Watch" brand or this unusual version of the "Caribbean"?
