Time is one of the units that hasn't been fully converted to metric, and probably never will be.
Because all time (on earth) is based on natural phenomenon on earth, then it is unlikely that the basic periods of a day, and a year would ever be replaced, and other units (seconds, minutes, hours) would be difficult to change.
Standard units are:
picoseconds
nanoseconds
milliseconds
seconds
minutes
hours
days
years
decades
centuries
millennia
Non standard units might be:
score (20 years)
An Age (if divided equally) is 2,160 years.
A Platonic Year - 25,920 years (time for the procession of the equinoxes)
Also note, there are several different types of years:
The vernal equinox tropical year of about 365.2424 years (varying over the centuries) is used for the Gregorian Calendar.
The mean tropical year of 365.24219 days.
A Sidereal year is 365.256363004 days
