My wife got me this watch from the AFC store. The instructions inside claim the dials are "dual time hour hand (24 hr)" on top, "dual time hour hand (12 hr)" on the left, and "dual time minute hand" on the bottom, but the numbers on the dials obviously don't line up for that except on the bottom. I have not had much luck finding anything similar online. Anyone familiar with something like this and could explain it to me?

It doesn't appear to be a chronograph. The bottom one moves in time with the minutes. The buttons on top and bottom seem to be in line with the idea of a 24 hour on top and a 12 hour on the left by causing them to move forward/backward by about 1/24 and 1/12 of a rotation respectively. I'm very confused as to what the numbers mean in this case.
