world time

International clock system

World time is a system for tracking the current time across all global time zones simultaneously.

World time watches and clocks display multiple zones at once, useful for international travelers and businesses.

The term sometimes refers to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the standard by which all time zones are calculated.
