Amanico introduces the Omega Museum Collection's 10th opus, a Doctor's Chronograph in yellow gold, sparking a lively debate among collectors about its design and the Caliber 3203 movement. This post delves into the nuances of Omega's historical re-editions and their reception within the enthusiast community.

Here is the 10th opus of the Museum Collection, a Doctor's Chronograph, in yellow gold, 39 mm case, with a white dial which is not made in enamel. 

The movement is the Cal 3203, a column wheel chronograph. 

Solid case back. 


Limited to 1938 pieces. 





The only regret I have is that it doesn't come in white metal. For the rest, I like a lot! 

You?

. . . and didn't seem to garner much traction even among Omega-philes back then. The more critical issue from an aficionado's standpoint is the relative crassness of the movement, which, if memory serves correct, is essentially a Piquet automatic with the winding system deleted. The layout of the bridges wasn't aesthetically pleasing, in my opinion. And, there were reported technical issues as well. Best, Art

Beautiful dial and hands. A white metal version would look nicer to me, UN 175th monopusher territory, and you know I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing. Vte

I love the dial layout and in particular the Breguet numerals on this piece which is in my view the most appealing among the Omega museum watch collection. It is to some extent the "budget version" of the AP Jules Audemars Chronograph, but with better proportions and smaller dimension (the AP measures 41 mm which is in my view too much for that style of watches). The AP however boasts with a stunning off-white dial color, combined with a white gold case. THAT would suit perfectly to this Omega.

I loved the look of the watch when it came out, but couldn’t get over the choice of movement.

. . . seven years ago which contained an image of the movement . . . [photo credit: Phil (log-in: hockey)] . . . as fitted to a 50th anniversary Speedmaster with enamel dial. Not particularly attractive, in my opinion, and there was at least one report on this forum of mechanical issues right out of the box. Art

. . . in only three references, none of which are sought after. They can be had today for bargain prices, but I'm not sure they're really bargains, if you get my drift. Art
