I'm thinking it means one o'clock, etc., but am unsure. Anyone know?
There are no other words to along with this. It's a list of different possible dates and times but only the nouns are mentioned.

Explanation:
in the US, for some unexplained reason,
when reading out numbers
(telephone, credit card, bankaccount, social security, etc.),
there is a tendency to say "oh" insted of "zero".
I have no idea what the origin of this practice is.

so a telephone number with the following digits:
(806) 213-0067
can be read out as:
eight-oh-six-two-one-three-oh-oh-six-seven
or as
eight-zero-six-two-one-three-zero-zero-six-seven
