About the time in Oranjestad
Oranjestad runs on America/Kralendijk, which puts the city UTC −4 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

Clocks in Oranjestad stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −4 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Caribbean Netherlands.
The zone identifier America/Kralendijk is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Kralendijk keeps pointing at Kralendijk time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
