The hwclock --systohc worked thanks! :-)
Still kind of odd that the date command does not cause the date and time to the
hardware clock when shutting down

This is probably useful:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sect-Configuring_the_Date_and_Time-hwclock.html
There is a note about how the system clock is synced every 11 minutes to
hardware. This might be a configuration option in chrony or ntpd.
Plenty of good information in that document to dig through.
