My funny-looking Omega

I bought my Omega at a yard sale in 1985 for three dollars-obviously, no papers-and it runs like a champ. However, it is the strangest looking watch--the 12 is where the 3 should be and it only reads correctly when I'm driving. There is a stopwatch function, the face is a burgundy color, the hands are painted white and the minute sweep is a bright orange. It says: Omega,Chronostop, Geneve and in tiny letters flanking the 6, Swiss Made. The hours are marked with silver bars, not numerals, and the 12 has a little luminous wedge. What is this thing? Is it old? Is it rare? Is it a fake? I don't want to sell it but I would love to know more about it. Thanks for any info.
