Any big brains out there know of a universal way to measure time?

Like let’s say we’ve made contact with an alien race and have figured out communications. We want to tell them a thing will happen at a specific time, but they have a different means of measurement that we can’t understand. Is there a universal constant way to measure time that doesn’t assume a standard planetary rotation, or the reactions of a specific atom to specific conditions? A constant regardless of environmental conditions that with the basic equipment of a reasonably techno-savvy civilization could easily be measured

*edit* Could the hydrogen line frequency be used as constance reference point perhaps?

No worries dude. The aliens are telepathic. They know that time is an illusion, and that past present and future are all happening at once.
