Here are three ways.  as.xts(z2) could be used to turn the second one into xts.

library(zoo)
library(chron)
len <- 5 * 60 * 60 * 10 + 1

# use chron times class

z1 <- zoo(, seq(times("10:00:00"), times("15:00:00"), length = len))

# use POSIXct times

z2 <- zoo(, seq(as.POSIXct("2011-01-01 10:00:00"),
	as.POSIXct("2011-01-01 15:00:00"), length = len))

# number intervals from 1 to len

z3 <- zoo(, seq_len(len))
