Use a directive to change the value from view to model.

angular.module('app', [])
    .directive('stringToTimestamp', function() {
        return {
            require: 'ngModel',
            link: function(scope, ele, attr, ngModel) {
                // view to model
                ngModel.$parsers.push(function(value) {
                    return Date.parse(value);
                });
            }
        }
    });
