These marks were not made from a digital font. It was probably an engraving machine or stencil. You can get a similar feeling with DIN 17, Bryant, or Gravur Condensed.
check out Gravur at lineto
As Stephen wrote this is not a digital font, almost certainly a router with a slave guide.

Dave, you have to realise that this kind of lettering is output device-specific: it is a set of characters that is produced specifically for a certain type of engraving machine. This means it has no equivalent in what we know as digital fonts. This alphabet only exists for engraving machines to make these watches, not as a digital font. We can’t find this font because it simply DOES NOT EXIST.
Other examples are alphabets available for the stamping machines that produce automobile license plates, for sowing and embroidery machines, for stone engraving et al. It just is a different world. In some rare cases you’ll find alphabets that have digital font counterparts, but more often than not they will be unique to that reproduction system.
Well, it’s not exactly the same either, but the “I” is similar in Typ1451 also at Lineto..
The letters are rounded as part of their working with a routing tool, essentially a drill bit that is designed to cut sideways, incising means that without manual finishing it is impossible to get a square corner.
There are some sample fonts here, although pretty rough.
