TcpDump: showing the absolute timestamp (date + time) of pcap file

I want to see the absolute timestamp of the packets in a pcap file using tcpdump. When I use the command tcpdump -r mypcapfiile it only shows the time,  

03:21:14.804778 IP static.vnpt.vn.51193 > 192.168.0.146.smtp

how can read the date as well?

Below example will give output of timestamp

tcpdump -i any -lnv port 53 -tttt | egrep -i "something" -B1

Example: 2021-01-29 00:17:28.143766 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 254, id 60132, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 68) 10.10.15.4.9193 > 10.10.27.251.53: 42463+ A? something.com. (40)

You can use the -tttt option:

$ tcpdump -tttt -nr tmp.pcap
