It was priced in the low five figures when it was introduced ~ ten years ago . . .
. . . 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.

Omega Museum Collection: The Nr 10.
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 ...

That is correct.
I loved the look of the watch when it came out, but couldn’t get over the choice of movement.
There was a thread concerning the Number Ten posted . . .
. . . 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...
Precisely. Omega issued those movements in bi- and tri-compax versions . . .
. . . 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
This one? . . .
[watch credit: BH Omega boutique, 2010 / photo credit: Dr No] . . . yes, the very same movement, sad to say. ...
Same movement, if not mistaken. That makes four Ω references altogether, and not . . .
. . . three as I previously reported fitted with cal 3200/3201 movements.
Very nice Omega.
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
Very very beautiful timepiece
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 pro...
Omega's cal 3203 was based on a Piguet movement . . .
. . . and was used in three references, the Museum Doctor's and Racend Timer models and the enamel 50th anniversary Speedmaster pictured above (the Speedy being the only one of the three with a display back). All three were attractive, particularly the en...
