Default
What you're referring to is a date picker content control. So far, these can only be created on PCs and don't work on Macs for versions 2011 & earlier. What you have access to via your screenshots is formfields. Formfields are supported on all Mac & PC Word platforms, but were not designed to be used in conjunction with content controls; doing to can lead to unexpected behaviour.
