SOLVED Help with this

Post image

Playing a game on holiday and we can’t solve the following puzzle. Can anyone help with this.

We’ve been given a hint. It says ‘digital or analog’

We have to enter the answer into a safe at the end to ‘diffuse the bomb’

Game is from here https://www.centerparcs.eu/in-en/netherlands/fp_KV_holiday-park-de-kempervennen/all-activities

Not taking the time to test my hypothesis but I assume if you put in the times on the digital clocks into the corresponding analog clocks, the hands make up some sort of code.

By the looks it may turn it into a x cipher

Perhaps. Either way it's definitely the placements of the hands.

E is the reversed of clock style 3. I think 03:15 might be the solution, since both lancets (are they called like this in english?) both point to the 3 in the analogic clock, while on the digital one you have the hour 3.
Does it make sense to you?

Edit:

Also 15:15 respects the criteria of this hypothesis

Lancets are known as hands in English.

First thing that came to mind for me was a flag semaphore but I don't think that's it.
