Above answers allow 09:2332:19811981 input also to display.
Following may use to avoid that issue
grep -o '[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' infile.txt

You can use the below command:
grep -o '[[0-9]*:[0-9]*:[0-9]*' infile
where infile is the input file to grep command.

grep, egrep, fgrep - print lines matching a pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [options] PATTERN [FILE...]
grep [options] [-e PATTERN | -f FILE] [FILE...]
e.g
grep "24:02:2010" date.txt
o/p is :hi today is 24:02:2010

Answer / venkat
grep -o -P '(([0-2][0-9]|3[01]):([0][1-9]|[1][012]):[12][09][0-9][0-9])'
use Perl regex to validate the limits of date and month.
