Setting constant value buildConfigField in Gradle when assembling production version

I have defined the following buildConfigField under productFlavors in my gradle file: 

buildConfigField "java.util.Date", "buildTime", "new java.util.Date(" + System.currentTimeMillis() + "L)"

My question is will this field change each time they open up an app or only when it's first build/ installed on their device? If yes, how do I make it a constant?

Sorry for such a stupid question, I'm new at working with gradle. Any help appreciated

You execute the System.currentTimeMillis() call in Gradle when your project is built and then set buildTime to something like new java.util.Date(1483522309324L), so the value is already a constant in your project that is calculated fixely at build time as its name suggests.
