Worked out from your browser's timezone, assuming you unlock at your own midnight. Rockstar hasn't confirmed that. The PlayStation Store lists one midnight per store region instead (the US and Canada on Eastern time), so in a country with several time zones it could come earlier. Offsets shown are the ones in force on 19 November, so daylight saving is already accounted for.
