1109 Movement or 1120 Movement?

Hey guys, I got rid of my quartz smp and just bought a chronometer smp from an authorized dealer. I was looking through this site and it said that the 1109 movement was upgraded to a 1120 movement. Im a little concerned, i looked at my watch tag and it said 1109! Does this mean i got a watch that has been sitting around for a couple of years????? Does this mean i got the bad movement? I dont know the difference in the movements but i need your help. If this is an old watch i got instead of a brand new one i would like to know. Thank you very much.

by the way, which movement is better? Thanks.
