I know SQLModel is SQLAlchemy under the hood but this feels strange, cause i want to face SQLModel ONLY.

Generally you can't do this kind of things with SQLModel without using SA api directly, so I'd just drop that want.

Coming from Tortoise ORM moving to SQLModel it would be great to have if the timezone would be saved without having to use SQLAlchemy directly. The project is new so I hope updates could be made soon.

New release has

Add support for passing a custom SQLAlchemy type to Field() with sa_type. PR #505 by @maru0123-2004.

so maybe this could be extended somehow to allow arguments for the sa Column type too.
