This was taken fron Absolute Maximum Ratings. There is a note right under them: "Notice: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only, and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not intended. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability."
Right under that there are Recommended Operating Conditions, which clearly state VDD 10,2-13,8V and logic input between VDD-2V to VDD. So if it works at 3,3V logic, then good for you, but if something unexpected happens, then manufacturer takes no responsibility, as you use it out of Recommended Operating Conditions. Shortly speaking, area between ROC and AMR is treated like "it won't burn, but it doesn't have to work". AMR is the limit of permanent damage of the chip, while ROC determines range in which manufacturer guarantees, that information found in the datasheet will be accurate. So it is up to you. If the clock is running at your home, then an unexpected failure won't be a disaster. But I would never sell a clock with parts operating out of specifications.
