set your property using below code at the time of model creation i think your problem will be solved..and the time are not appear in database.you dont need to add any annotation.

private DateTime? dob;
        public DateTime? DOB
        {
            get
            {
                if (dob != null)
                {
                    return dob.Value.Date;
                }
                else
                {
                    return null;
                }

            }
            set { dob = value; }
        }
