How to insert Unix timestamp by using Nginx SSI (server side includes)?

Question

I was reading the instructions, yet there is no example for me to understand how to insert a timestamp. I require Unix timestamp or any type of a date that I can format myself.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssi_module.html#commands

The final goal is to have timestamp inserted in a manner how I like it, to prevent the contact form abuse. And in case that spammers adopt to it, I would change the format.

  <body>                                                                                                                                
    Time <!--# config timefmt="%F" --><!--# echo var="date_local" -->                                                                   
  </body>

Thank you Aleksey. I will use the above solution, while changing the formatting if spammers adopt to it. But I guess their software is not easily adoptable.
