When the player 'uses' the object for the first time, you can save the object and the current time:

PlayerPrefs.SetString('<objectnametimer>', DateTime.Now.AddHours(25).ToString());

This will save the new datetime, so everytime the game boots up, you can check things like this:

void Start() {
    var unlockDate = DateTime.Parse(PlayerPrefs.GetString('<objectnametimer>'));
    if(unlockDate < DateTime.Now) {
        //object unlocked again
    }
    else {
        //object still locked, how long you ask?: 
        TimeSpan diff = unlockDate.Subtract(DateTime.Now);
        Debug.Log("object locked for " + diff.Minutes + " more minutes");
    }
}

I didn't check for compile errors, (I'm on my phone) But this looks promising to me :)

PS: If you want to create a countdown, just keep iterating the else code and convert it to a nice format using diff like described here

EDIT: when iterating, use coroutines to yield return new WaitForSeconds(1) for a calculatiosn every 1 second. also make sure to check each time if (unlockedDate < DateTime.Now) to trigger unlocking :)

Happy coding
