I solved my problem :) In /com/cannonical/indicator/datetime i type nothing or space in custon-time-format, and select custom in time-format.

Hmmm....

System settings -> Date&Time -> Clock -> First option?

Unfornutally It works as changing options in dconf (from my first post) so it come back when you resart the system.

A better way to do this would be by blacklisting the date and time indicator.

To do so, you'd only need to add 'libdatetime.so' to the following GSettings key: /org/pantheon/desktop/wingpanel/blacklist.

Here's a quick command to achieve what I mention:
$ dconf write /org/pantheon/desktop/wingpanel/blacklist "['libappmenu.so','libdatetime.so']"

Run the following command to restart and see the changes, as long as Cerbere is running:
$ killall wingpanel

Thank you for your question!
