Every time zone has several denominations that serve to reference it. The the most used denomination is a code of three letters, that in the case of Spain is CET (Central Europe Time). There is another less used denomination, the military, which can result familiar, since it is used in some films and series of fiction, according to this denomination, the zulu hour corresponds to the time of the meridian of Greenwich. In addition to these in a third denomination each time zone is named with the initial letter of its military name.
Next we will show all the time zones, their denominations and some cities of every zone:
