Dear Teacher,

I have a silly question: I want to tell somebody that I will call him when eight AM in Hong-Kong.
1. I will call you at 8 morning HK time
2. I will call you at 8 AM according to HK timezone
3. Anything else?

Thank you,
Gabor

I will call you at eight a.m / eight o'clock in the morning / oh eight hundred Hong Kong time.

Thank you

I should have added that oh eight hundred is probably not very common except among people who have been involved in some way, however indirect, with the military.

I used to work at an airport (non-military) and we always used the 24-hour clock when speaking to each other because the flight times were always done using that system.

"The flight leaves at sixteen twenty-five UK time. I'll call you at eighteen hundred French time to confirm that it left on time."
