Objectively, the benefit of the 12-base system is that everything is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6. On the other hand, we memorise 10-base multiplication table in the primary school, 12-base one would be larger almost by half.
That said, time and calendar is the weirdest measuring system of all, even before you take leap seconds, timezones and and daylight savings into account.
