The reflog command defaults to "reflog show" if no command is given (from the "Description" section of "git help reflog"):

  The "show" subcommand (which is also the default, in the absence of
  any subcommands) shows the log of the reference provided in the
  command-line (or HEAD, by default). The reflog covers all recent
  actions, and in addition the HEAD reflog records branch switching. git
  reflog show is an alias for git log -g --abbrev-commit
  --pretty=oneline; see git-log(1) for more information.

And the implication that it takes the same options as git-log is spelled out explicitly in the Options section:

   Options for show
     git reflog show accepts any of the options accepted by git log.

You can find a more detailed description of --date in the git-log manpage.
