Yes. It has less friction and requires less lubrication. Theorhetically, it should require less maintenance. I think you could arguably give the Co-Axial Escapement the edge on technology and the state ot the art.

All that said, it's only been available for 5 or 6 years. Why don't we wait a few decades to see how it does in the long term.
