Curzan found that many years ago there was 
an interesting use of “o’clock” that might 
sound strange to us today. “In earlier 
times instead of saying ‘what is the time’ 
you could say ‘what is o’clock?’ or you 
could say ‘what o’clock is it?’”

I don't think including "what o'clock" is 
ideal. Maybe a "[lit]which hour" instead? 
if it's really needed to distinguish it.

I'd go with "when; at what moment", the same glosses we have for sense 2 of いつなんどき.
