At my last job we had types for a `Time.t` (time + date + timezone), a `Date.t` (just a day of the year), and a `Time.Ofday.t` (a time of the day with no timezone or date attached - like 8:00 AM).

This worked really well! You represent (1) with a `Time.Ofday.t`. I suppose if you wanted you could represent (2) with a `Time.Ofday.t` + a `Date.t`, although it kinda seems to me like you want to keep timezone information around if you're dealing with DST changes.
