Hook it to a GPS receiver. You can get UTC with better than 100us.

Note that I called it a 'GPS receiver', and not a 'GPS'. It grates me to
shreds when people call the receiver 'a GPS'. It is not. The GPS is a
constellation of satellites, and there is not a snowball's hope in hell that
you can fit it into a box!

It is like talking about a LCD dislay...
