See what DAVT means, its UTC+7 offset, and how to compare or convert Davis Time with other time zones.
Meaning and usage
DAVT stands for Davis Time and uses a fixed UTC+7 offset. It is associated with Davis station time usage in Antarctica rather than a broad country-based civil time zone.
No DST changes
DAVT does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset remains UTC+7 all year. This page tracks that fixed relationship and shows current time without seasonal clock changes.

This is especially useful for finding a window that fits a DAVT-based workday and comparing whether the same period lands in another region’s work hours, evening, or overnight slots shown by the grid colors.
Export the selected schedule: After selecting a range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. These options help when you want to send a confirmed meeting window to a distributed team so each person receives the event in their own local time without reformatting the schedule manually.
About Davis Time (DAVT)
DAVT stands for Davis Time. Its standard offset is UTC+7, which means it is seven hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time.
DAVT does not observe daylight saving time and has no counterpart. That means the abbreviation remains DAVT year-round, with no seasonal switch to an alternate standard or daylight form.
Other abbreviations that share the same UTC+7 offset include CXT, G, HOVT, ICT, KRAT, NOVST, NOVT, OMSST, and WIB. Even when the UTC offset matches, the abbreviation used depends on the specific time zone or regional standard being referenced.
DAVT and Daylight Saving Time
DAVT does not observe DST, so it does not switch during the year. There is no spring-forward or fall-back change, and there is no alternate daylight-saving abbreviation associated with it.
Because DAVT has no counterpart, the time remains fixed at UTC+7 throughout the entire year. This makes scheduling more predictable for recurring calls, operations planning, and long-term calendar coordination because there are no seasonal clock changes to account for on the DAVT side.
