Unix time, or POSIX time, is a system for describing instants in time, defined as the number of seconds elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of Thursday, January 1, 1970

The unix timestamp isn't affected by a timezone setting. Setting the timezone only affects the interpretation of the timestamp value.
