Not sure exactly, but it involves a new type of balance that reduces friction in the escapement, and it's also more shock-resistant, which reduces the variation over time.
I'm sure someone more knowldegeable will be along soon!

I'm not too sure that it justifies the large price hike though, but at least it's a valid reason, rather than 'just because we can!'
