Indeed, the name is awkard.  I also remember that use of "-face" is
discouraged, but could not find the resource for it.

My initial idea was to use "display-time-face", which would also be
symmetric with "display-time-mail-face".  Note though that the latter is
defined as a 'defcustom', so I wasn't sure what the right approach is.
