I've only seen these "cricket bat" hands on ref. 1038. Most 1038's have regular baton hands, though. Does anyone know of a term for these hands?

Ive always called them Zephyr baton hands.

Do I smell another “Every type of” post coming?

(Yay!)

Other watches use this type of hand too.

There are watchmaker terms for these hands. Paddle watch hands - because they are shaped like a paddle with a wider rectangle towards the end.

“Every type of”?

I guess that’s an inside reference to an epic thread somewhere - one that I haven’t seen.

But I did look around for an article about paddle hands and found this...

Thanks Adam. I have seen and enjoyed those threads. I just couldn’t connect the dots before my first cup of coffee.
