Default "Atomic" clock for UTC/GMT?

I have been looking for an "Atomic" clock which can be set to UTC time
for the shack. Since the update feature only works in North America,
most of them can only be set to the local time zones. The couple of
sales people I talked to didn't even understand the question. Any
first hand recommendations? (I have already looked at eHam.)

You can also get UTC time info from a GPS unit that has a data port..
UTC time info can also be pulled off the Internet from any time standard site...

I have done all 3, and find that a GPS unit with an external antenna is easy to
set up, and going the Internet route is free...
