Saving new Date() in MongoDB Collection

I try to store a date inside a mongodb collection:

const date = new Date();
const time = {
  date:  date,
  timestamp:  date.getTime(),
}
Collection.insert(time); // no schema

What is actually stored:

{ "_id" : "PmMCEANtvfBwNGApH", "date" : "2021-01-14T14:33:36.520Z", "timestamp" : 1610634816 }

What i would expect:

{ "_id" : "PmMCEANtvfBwNGApH", "date" : " ISODate("2021-01-14T14:33:36.520Z"), "timestamp" : 1610634816 }

What do i have to do, to achieve the second?

your code is correct because I runned and show result if you use new Date() for a field, the type is Date definitely like bellow photo test other things, maybe type is correct in your db, but change when you fetch data result,

Try this see if it works.

const date = new Date();
const fullDate = date.getFullYear().toString() +'-'+ (date.getMonth() + 1).toString() + '-' + date.getDate().toString();
console.log(new Date(fullDate));
