That's a Seiko A159-5019 from the late 70's. Not sure what it has to do with analog/digital combination watches though.
It landed here. Cool Seiko. I have similar model in gold from 1978 (it was a thing back in the days). Too bad for me set button don't work anymore.
Interesting thing about it it pre piezo on back plate thing. Beeper is separate unit in top portion of the watch. There is "speaker" like grill and opening there. There is something special in wearing these watches. Time presence is more tangible due to very distinctive technology. You really feel it from that time.

Only seeing your reply now, thanks for the ID. I didn't pay attention to the thread title properly, mea culpa. Here is a seldom seen ana-digi watch to make up for my transgression, a Citizen with caliber C471.

This version that sold on WUS for only $80 USD long ago actually has a Promaster logo on the dial.



So far I've also identified:

Watch Analog watch White Light Clock


The blue version without the Promaster logo seems to be JDM, I haven't found the model number yet. All of these watches date to 2005.

I actually do own ana-digi watches myself. A Citizen with U680, and something more rare.



I used the one on the right for parts (links), sold the one on the left to my friend, and still have the middle one.

They are actually special enough for Citizen Japan to include them in their historical overview.



The historian got it wrong though, they are from 1994, part of the first Promaster collection in Japan (before that time it was called Sporte).

Here they are after the battery change.



The analogue and digital clocks are not linked, but they do get the same quartz signal, so if you sync the seconds they remain synced.

So I went through the complete thread, and one ana-digi that seems to be missing is the 2005 Bundeswehr (German army) titanium watch by Tutima / Boccia.

It seems to use the Miyota like below watches.

As a fan of Benrus military watches who also has fond memories of my first analog/digital chronograph in high school, I had to grab this J. Peterman-branded mashup when I saw it!

Standard Miyota 3 button analog digital. Merch watch. fit and finish are nice but backplate gave me a lot of headache. it's really hard to open and whoever designed it probably thought changing battery will not be on to do list of owners of this watch so why bother and make it possible.

Looks nice though.

Got it used as is.
Nothing on outside looks alarming.
Nice stainless steel screw back miyota based analog digital.

What i found inside.... looks like lighting strike occurred there.
Watch is sure dead as it can be.
My guess either someone tried to "charge" battery with 110V or something of this caliber.

That's why worst thing which can happen to quartz watch is DIY genius battery change.

And here is an older Tutima ana-digi

Everyone used Miyota.
It not a bad choice for 90s and early 2000s.
Even Breitleing used it in Pluton (or whatever was in original Point Break) .
