1957 Chevy Car Dakota Digital HDX Clock to Match Gauges

The Dakota Digital HDX Series Analog Dash Clock (Part # HLC-57C) is the definitive way to achieve perfect visual symmetry on your passenger side if you are running the matching HDX main instrument network in a 1957 Chevrolet car. Engineered to mirror the exact styling cues, finish, and lighting architecture of the primary instrument cluster, this clock cleanly replaces your factory original timepiece to give your classic Tri-Five cabin a flawless finish.

Perfect Match Options

To ensure an exact match with your main instrumentation layout, the clock is available in two distinct styles to replicate the primary cluster options:

• Black Alloy Face (HLC-57C-K): Features a sleek, modern matte black face configuration.

• Silver Alloy Face (HLC-57C-S): Features a high-contrast silver alloy styling layout.

Synced Lighting Technology

Once tied to the central data backbone, the clock functions as a seamless visual extension of your main cluster:

• Full RGB Color Synchronization: The clock shares color layouts with the primary setup, allowing you to cycle through over 30 user-selectable color options and 12 factory preset themes for independent face and needle color tuning.

• Headlight Dimming Link: Connects directly into the HDX central control network. Both daytime and nighttime brightness levels are shared across the dash, automatically dimming the clock face whenever you toggle your factory headlight switch.

Seamless Architectural Integration

• Authentic Face Profile: Features a classic 12-hour analog configuration with an illuminated needle over clean hash marks.

• Flawless Mount Design: Designed with a custom-machined, chrome-plated bezel that follows the stock 1957 passenger-side dash clock opening contours. It slides straight into your factory original or reproduction clock bezel location and locks firmly into place using the provided clamping bracket and thumb-nut hardware.

Critical System Requirements

⚠️ Important Integration Note: The HLC-57C clock is strictly a companion component and cannot be operated as a standalone gauge. It contains no independent internal processors and relies completely on being connected directly to the main Dakota Digital HDX-57C instrument system control box via the included interconnect harness. It will not work as a standalone clock, nor is it compatible with VFD3, VHX, or RTX systems.
