Apple had simply decided to use an updated watch cursor in OS X,

Whenever your app doesn't process events for a while, you get the
beach ball. That's either a sign your app has hung, or it's not
been engineered the way Apple wants you. Had they used the watch
cursor, you would see that cursor whenever an app hangs. There's
not much difference in what image they use.
There's one slight difference:
"You can tell the busy cursor not to stay animated if your
application stops responding. This ensures that the busy cursor won't
spin forever if your application never returns from a task."
