Co-axial escapement

If the new co-axial escapement is the greatest advance in watch technology - how quickly will we see it in other Omega watches apart from the DeVille? And is it really so innovative? If so, I'm suprised that only Omega was willing to take it up. Does this mean that Omega will end up selling it to the world? After all, the rest of the world is still using the 'old' lever escapement. I picked up a lovely small hard-bound booklet on the new escapement from an Omega retailer in London, England. If you are 'into' Omegas, maybe we should all try getting hold of a copy for posterity, if the new escapement is so special.
