Date display on COMMAND?

Am I missing something or is there no way to display the date on the central COMMAND screen (or anywhere for that matter)? Jumped in the car this morning half asleep, grabbed the log book - and... uhmmm today's date is.. hmm, the car will tell me; surely! NAV - nothing, Clock, Vehicle menu - nothing, .. must've spent 10 minutes buried in menus trying to locate it - to no avail.

Aha.. there it is. Well hidden indeed - Thank you!
There's actually a really neat date/time display you can bring up in the service menu on the odometer as well but that's only available through secret button combo.

He could tell you, but then he'd have to kill you.

Under the "Vehicle Data" menu - keep scrolling through the pages using the up/down arrows.

Guy wondering if there are any hidden/dealer menus on the W205 2019 c63S AMG? I know of the engineer menu for break change and dump but there must be one of the MBUX system.
