Map of time zones in the Americas, which only goes to UTC-11 ([[UTC+13]] for Kiribati only); ChST is [[UTC+10]], well off the left edge.

The Chamorro Time Zone[1], formerly the Guam Time Zone, observes standard time by adding ten hours to Coordinated Universal Time ([[UTC+10]]). The clock time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 150th degree meridian east of the Greenwich Observatory.

The zone includes the U.S. territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Daylight Saving Time is not observed anywhere in the zone; hence the time in this zone is always known as Chamorro Standard Time (ChST).

The zone is two hours behind Wake Island Time Zone, 15 hours ahead of North American Eastern Time Zone, and 18 hours ahead of Pacific Time Zone.
