The U. S. time zones are UTC-11, UTC-10, UTC-9, UTC-8, UTC-7, UTC-6, UTC-5, UTC-4 and UTC+10. The African time zones are UTC, UTC+1, UTC+2 and UTC+3.

There are 24 worldwide standard time zones, each representing a one-hour difference from the next zone. This system helps coordinate time across regions and countries, making it easier to schedule events and travel. Each time zone is centered around a specific meridian, such as the Prime Meridian or the International Date Line.
Russia has many time zones (UTC+3, UTC+4, UTC+6, UTC+7, UTC+8, UTC+9, UTC+10, UTC+11, UTC+12); China has only one (UTC+8).
The Australian mainland is divided among four different times during Standard Time (UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9:30 & UTC+10) and six different times during Summer Time (UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9:30, UTC+10, UTC+10:30 & UTC+11). Including all of Australia's island territories and its Antarctic station, the total number of Australia's time offsets is eight during Standard Time (UTC+6:30, UTC+7, UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9:30, UTC+10, UTC+10:30 & UTC+11:30) and nine during Summer Time (UTC+6:30, UTC+7, UTC+8, UTC+8:45, UTC+9:30, UTC+10, UTC+10:30, UTC+11 & UTC+11:30).

UTC on a Citizen Eco-Drive watch stands for Coordinated Universal Time, which is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It allows for precise timekeeping across different time zones.
Coordinated Universal Time. UTC was devised by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to mitigate confusion arising from the use of several different time-keeping standards. The reason it became UTC instead of CUT was that the French abbreviation would have been TUC, so UTC was decided upon as a compromise between the English and French abbreviations. As a result of the re-arrangment, UTC is often usually referred to as Universal Coordinate Time.
