Yes it is, but SI is not all metric. Metric is fundamentally a base 10 system. Time is base 60 you can probably thank the ancient Sumerians for that but there's some debate.

At one point the French tried to make metric time a thing but it didn't stick.

Short times are always given in scales of 10 for seconds (ms, μs, ns). And long ones can be too.
