Thank you Joe, just to conclude this thread, I've implemented the two options, and all worked fine.

Main index: mock\_sms

**Option1:**  
Defining 3 Index Patterns this way (without spaces after comma):

mock\_sms\*,fecha ─────────► fecha default Time field in index pattern  
mock\_sms\*,fechaRespuesta ──► fechaRespuesta default Time field in index pattern  
mock\_sms,fechaRecepcion ───►fechaRecepcion default Time field in index pattern

then I've implemented 3 different visualizations, each one pointing to each of previous index patterns. Finally, I loaded the three visualizations in a new dashboard. Now, every time the default date in the dashboard is changed, also change the date scale in the three visualizations at the same time.

**Option2:**  
I've implemented three visualizations, each one with the three date fields above using Lens:  
Visualization1 - X Axis: fecha  
Visualization2 - X Axis: fechaRecepcion  
Visualization3 - X Axis: fechaRespuesta

and loaded in a new dashboard. The dashboard behaves the same as in Option1.  
The only drawback in Option2 is Lens does not allow too many customizations in visualizations. For example: [Change format of labels in a visualization X axis chart](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/change-format-of-labels-in-a-visualization-x-axis-chart/265131)  
Perhaps Lens needs more time to get more customization features.
