You can run bitcoin-cli getblockstats {hash_or_height} to see the stats of the latest block. It will give you the Unix timestamp.

For example, block 819898 has a time value of 1701787383 which translates to:

Tue Dec 05 2023 14:43:03 GMT+0000

yes, with the caveat that the time for block is set by the miner and must adhere to consensus rules

Im trying to put together a big bet pool for the first block of the new year but I need someone that can see the block time to the second in case they come in close
