I was reading the blog on which the guy described this, last year. The guy that did it said he had crafted a piece of coloured pespex plastic (slightly tinted) using a carboard template that he shaped around the clocks. He used a soldering iron to cut the perspex to shape according to the paper template, then sanded down the edges. He included to tabs in the template cutout (which you cannot see from your photo) that he warmed up with a heat gun, bent back 90 degrees, and used them to fix the tinted plastic to the clocks housing using silicon sealer (which could easily be revoved if needed - rather some glue type adhesive). Its easy to do.
Perspex: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Colour-Perspex-Acrylic-Sheet-Plastic-Material-Panel-Cut-to-Size-A5-A4-A3-/201121042564?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item2ed3bf9084
The indicator itself if from here http://www.acutrac.co.uk/digital-gear-indicators-23-c.asp and fixed using adhesive to the back of the template.
Any soldering iron will do but here is mine: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dremel-VERSATIP-2000-6-Multifunction-Butane-SOLDERING-IRON-/310421923228?pt=UK_Baby_BabyFeedingUtensils_EH&hash=item484696a59c#ht_3880wt_1110
Just draw a felt marker around the cardboard/paper cutout laid onto the perspex, heat up the iron, carefully work around the felt line to cut through, sand edges. End of

For a neater cut use a dremel with a cutting bit, less sanding too
