You don't change it in Ignition, Ignition gets its time from the underlying OS.

What version of Ignition are you using? What timezone is your OS configured for?

The Ignition version is 8.1.16.  
The time zone configured in OS is Athens/Bucarest and the time in the OS is correct.  
Also time zone in the Gateway is Athens/Bucarest, but time in Gateway is less 1 hour.

You need to make sure you're looking at the OS of the machine/container your gateway is installed on, not the one you use to launch the designer.
