How could it be monochrome? The TV-am analogue clock started off yellow!
Or do you not mean "monochrome" as in "black and white"?
Monochrome = single colour - doesn't have to mean B&W... Green-screen and amber-screen computer terminals were 'monochrome'...
The TVam clock looks like it could conceivably have been a key-only source, filled with a matte (so it could have been any single colour) and possibly given a mixer edge or drop shadow.

TVam's wasn't as sophisticated, but as it was a simple monochrome key with just hour markers and hands, it was less obtrusive in some ways. It looks electronic, but a very simple monochrome key, but it could have been keyed from a mechanical clock (or on the day the regular clock failed it could have been an electronic clock replaced by a mechanical clock keyed instead)
