Why do datestr(x) and datestr(x,'hh:mm:ss') in Matlab have different time result?

I have the following date in serial numbers

>> x

x =

7.3506e+05

and below are the two different results:

>> datestr(x)

ans =

11-Jul-2012 15:58:00

>> datestr(x,'hh:mm:ss')

ans =

15:07:00

Does anyone know why this happens?

Because mm means "Month in two digits", and since the month is July, "07" is correct.

Use upper case for time: "HH:MM:SS"

>> x
x =    7.3506e+05
>> datestr(x)
ans = 11-Jul-2012 15:58:00
>> datestr(x,'HH:MM:SS')
ans = 15:58:00
