The first ones appeared at dealers in 2002, although the earliest ones might have been made in late 2001.

The first ones too were a slow beat movement, five beats per second. Later, the transitional 5002 increased the beat to six beats per second or 21.600 per hour. Take a 1 second time lapse photo and count the beats in one second or take it to your watchmaker to measure the beat. You can get a good idea if yours is a slow or transitional beat.
