Nanoseconds since epoch, which means eventually it does loop around, so at the very least it's not possible to generate a specific wallet by knowing when it was first used.

A quick search says it's actually ticks, which is OS and machine dependent (kernel tunable). Nanosecond resolution is not enough for a seed if it's a real datetime, so the 32-bit truncation is a separate problem.
