C-h v calendar-time-zone tells me this:


    calendar-time-zone's value is -420

    Documentation:
    *Number of minutes difference between local standard time at
    `calendar-location-name' and Coordinated Universal (Greenwich) Time.  For
    example, -300 for New York City, -480 for Los Angeles.

    Defined in `cal-dst'.
