Actually, the second is defined as a certain exact number of oscillations
of a cesium atom in the same reference frame as the observer. The
transforms of general relativity permit us to predict the behavior of such
atoms (relative to our own observation) in other reference frames as long
as we have a good mathematical handle on their velocity and gravitational
warp.
