"The SI unit of time is the second (s): The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom."
I'm not a physicist, but I think that's a universal definition - the rate of the periods should be constant everywhere in the universe.
So universal seconds are actually very easy to nail down. Dates are always a little more troublesome. Perhaps seconds since the start of the big bang would be a possibility.
