Time in Gabon
Shown above is the current time across Gabon, alongside the time zone Gabon keeps and the live local time in its main cities.
The whole of Gabon runs on a single time, WAT (UTC+1) — so every city listed on this page reads exactly the same clock.
Gabon doesn't observe daylight saving at all — its offset from UTC stays fixed the entire year, so if the gap to another country ever changes, it's that other country moving its own clocks, not this one.
