No, you can't. Atomic clocks measure the oscillation of atoms (I think Cesium is currently used), and though constant at a fixed point, vary when theyre moving at different speeds. GPS wouldn't be possible without taking this into account, for example. A second on earth will never be the same as a second on Mars.

A second is duration, but we're really interested in instants. Why can't you can define an instant independently of the observers, e.g. in reference to the rotation of the galaxy (i.e. "this happened at angle 37 from Milky Way - Andromeda line, at distance 403 parsecs from Milky Way center, at 692.3 Milky Way rotations since epoch (Big Bang)").
Distance depends on how fast you are moving. As do the endpoints of a rotation.
