Also a heck of a lot easier to identify and value a watch BEFORE it is lost or stolen.

: a deville but cannot be sure.
Sorry, but it is impossible to 'identify' a specific watch based on such an extremely vague explanation.
Did he buy it as a NEW watch in 1981? OR was it a used watch then?
If it was a NEW watch in 1981, it CANNOT be both a Seamaster and a DeVille. It is one or the other. There were a few 'Seamaster DeVille' models made in the 1960s. But either way, these names are broad model lines that still match HUNDREDS of possible watches.
No idea what 'gold bonded' is. Watches from the 1950s and 1960s were sometimes 'gold filled.'
Value? At absolute worst, any older OMEGA in clean, opearable condition should be worth at least $250. Impossible to say more without a positive identification of the model (not a broad model line name) and an accurate idea of the age and condition.
Anything more relevant you can tell about he watch may help. Any photos of you or your father wearing the watch? If so, try blowing them up using a digital scanner.
