Citizen Trans Continents World Time Ana-Digi C463

Its another of the elusive Citizen Trans Continents watches today.

I've never been able to find anything in the Citizen watch catalogues about this range, and I might have found why. What I think is that the Trans Continents range is actually a clothing brand /shop, and Citizen produces watches for them (like the Seiko collaboration with Cabane de Zucca). That would explain why they don't feature in the Citizen info, and I've also found many clothes and other accessories under the Trans Continents name.
This particular model is from around 2003, and is a dial watch with a digital face behind the hands. The dial is a standard 3 hand dial operated by a crown. The LCD display is round and features curved digits around the edge. The top half covers the time (and whether it's in Summer Time), with the bottom showing the time zone. The time zone can be changes with the touch of a button (bottom left), and in the settings, you can turn zones on or off to eliminate scrolling through lots of unnecessary options.

The watch has a C463 module and has world time, date, two alarms, chronograph, and timer display options. It also features an el-backlight (which only really illuminates the digits themselves).

The full model number is C463-S002036.
