One minute.

Time units are listed towards the back of the manual (for TC, anyway). However, ingame they are just treated as seconds, minutes, etc., as far as I remember.

In game terms,

Sezura = second. (secunde)
Mizura = minute. (minute)
Stazura = hour. (stunde)
Tazura = day. (tag)
Wozura = week. (woche)
Mozura = month. (monate)
Jazura = year. (jahr)

If you think in German time measurements, the correlation is simple. :)

In universe terms, the conversions are not exact, but one mizura ~= one minute. Ish. And there's a few more like Decazura, Inzura, and Quazura that the Teladi use to confuse people. Silly lizards and their monopoly on everything. :D

EDIT

aaaaaaand Carlo's on the ball tonight. Drat. :P

But:
1 Second is NOT 1 Sezura!!!
It's always 1,xx to xxx.... we have to find the right converting. I found something:

Sezura = is the smallest unit ; is about 1.7s
Mizura = 96 Sezura = 163.2 s = 2.72 m
Stazura = 96 Mizura = 15667.2 s = 261.12 m 4.352 h
Tazura = 7 Stazuras = 109670.4 s = 1827.84 m 30.464 h 1.27 t
Wozura = 7 tazuras = 8.89 t
Mazura = 7 Wozuras = 62.23 t
Jazura = 8 Mazuras = 56 Wozuras = 392 tazuras = 497.84 t = 1.36 j

And some only in the teladian empire exist some:

Quazura = 22 Mizuras = 3590.4 s = 59.84 m (looks like an human hour).
Inzura = 8 Mizuras = 1305.6 s = 21.76 m
Sun = 1 Jazura

.. as quoted from page 52 in the X2 The Threat Manual as Carlo said in post 2 above. Still, that was a great 10 year necro. :D <Locking>
