That was my first thought too and I (erroneously) suggested the internet
"time", which should have been "date". I found a ready-made lookup list and
began experimenting. No go.
You have to know whether the area is on daylight savings time because the
offset changes. You also need to know the location because cities in the
same zone vary, and Apple's format requires a specific city location
reference, so that would be a second lookup.
And the OP doesn't want a lookup list anyway.

From an offset from GMT it is easy enough with this:
