Really, the death of a chain is having no lubrication, and also getting dirt into the joints at the links.

An 0-ring chain, as the name implies, has small o-ring seals at each joint to seal lubricant in and keep dirt out, This obviously prolongs the life of the chain.

An X-ring chain is very similar, except the rings actually have an "X"-shaped cross section, instead of just round. This seals much better.
