Geneva Ana-Digi Disc and LCD

Today's watch is probably one of the first unusual watches I bought on Ebay when I started collecting in the late 90s.

The watch is by another of the mystery brands called Geneva, and there isn't anything online which links to this watch's manufacturer. There is a brand called Geneva which sells Japanese quartz watches for low prices (and is only found on the sales sites) which may be the right company, but the font used for their name on the watch is not the same. I bought the watch because of its unusual look and low price (which can be seen by the build quality).

The top half of the watch has half a large dial, and a small dual in the centre. The half dial covers the hours with a two colour hand with a red pointer for 1-6 and a black pointer for 7-12. The small dial covers minutes and seconds with a rotating disc with a pointer for the minutes, and a disc with numbers on for the seconds.

The bottom section of the watch is the 6 digit LCD display. This part is an alarm chronograph, and only has an alarm and chronograph.

Apart from that, I don't know much else about the watch. I know it's from the 90s based on my purchase date, and the information on the watch says it is water resistant to 50m and the back is stainless steel.
