%N Double prime times.

%C Numbers on the display of a 4-digit hh:mm digital clock that remain prime when the display mode is switched between 12-hour AM/PM and 24-hour time.

%e a(49) = 1013 and a(103) = 2213 are in the sequence, because toggling the display mode of the digital clock will either leave 10:13 unchanged or switch between 22:13 and 10:13 at 10:13 PM. Both displayed times are prime when reading hh:mm as decimal number.
