Wireshark is treating the value as 32-bit Unsigned, instead of 32-bit signed.
In the attached file:
frame 1: option 2 = -7200 sec (-2 Hour)
frame 2: option 2 = +7200 sec (+2 Hour)

from RFC 2132 paragraph 3.4 Time Offset

The time offset field specifies the offset of the client's subnet in
   seconds from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).  The offset is
   expressed as a two's complement 32-bit integer.  A positive offset
   indicates a location east of the zero meridian and a negative offset
   indicates a location west of the zero meridian.

   The code for the time offset option is 2, and its length is 4 octets.
