I have a wrist watch just fastened onto the hand hold to the left of the seat.

I use a little cheapo like pictured.
Time and date. Battery included. Sticks on next to Steering shaft with velcro.
Less than $5
One has lasted 7 years
One on newer tractor is on 3rd year.
Both tractors open type and get very dirty.

I bought a dollar store travel alarm, removed the cover and stuck in on the dash with double back tape.
Naturally I have no access to the alarm setting but who sleeps in a tractor. LOL!
EBay search will also find tons of suitable clocks, some include voltage readings and stop watch features as well.

Does the vibration from the tractor impede the accuracy of the Timepiece?

If you're asking about the watch that's velcroed to the dash, it's been keeping excellent time for years. Like all good watches, it's shock resistant and waterproof. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking, as they say. And maybe the velcro insulates it a little.
And besides, It's a Kubota - it doesn't vibrate!

That's how I'd go.
