Many thanks. Is was my thought mainly because of some sort of serif in the font style.
Can we assume it is Fat Font ?
And definitely not Long 5 ?
Any idea of the period ?

There are 3 types of mk3 inserts depending on font / age.
Honestly, the naming needs completely redefined bc there’s almost zero relationship between the three, but the “mk3” is already here.

The late mk3 was never a “fat” insert. It’s only fatter than the thin service inserts.

Not a long 5. You start seeing an insert like that around 78, later than the age of your watch.

Thank you very much.
So it is not the "original" insert on my watch... (late 70's for the insert and late 60's for the watch).
