Quiz time - Citizen Independent 1481010 abacus 1 D410-S70151

As I've got through around 1% of my collection, and haven't had any unusual ways to tell the time, I thought it was time for a quiz:
So what time does the watch say?
The watch is a Citizen Independent 1481010 with a D410 module using LEDs to show the time. When the button is pressed, the watch first tells the time, followed by a flashing pattern which changes by the hour. When the battery begins to run low, the patters is replaced by a single flashing LED (4 flashes for low battery, 10 for very low).
The 1481010 range has 4 variations with his module, 3 colour variations in plastic, and one metal version. There is also another set which uses the same case, but with a more traditional number display.
As for telling the time, I'll leave that to a later update after someone has guessed what the time is!

[UPDATE] The time was correctly worked out through facebook! The watch in the bottom picture is showing the time 13:08. The digits are shown in columns, two with green LEDs for the hours and two with orange LEDs for the minutes. A red LED counts as a 5 at the top of any column. So the time shown is
1 3 : 0 (5+3) = 13:08
