That’s lovely - these calculators are very ‘dad’ style to me also (though my dad had a 70s style Casio). There’s something about the voyager HP calculators with their landscape format - they are really satisfying to use, I can see why he kept it on him!
My dad was a surveyor almost my entire life, he always had this (or a very similar model) in his pocket or on his desk.
As a surveyor, he probably had an 11c or 15c (the 12c is the financial version of the Voyager series).
Aside: Swissmicro sells a series of voyager clones with modern hardware:

I looked at an image of the 11c, that was it for sure.
