It is probably being reset to Zulu (UDT, whatever they call it) time.

I had this happening for a while.

I think I went into, no, sorry, I don't remember at all where I
changed the setting that says whether or not my real time clock is set
to Zulu.  When I set that to no, the system stopped updating my time
every occurrence of rebooting.
