Is there a word for these "cricket bat hands" found on some ref. 1038 models?

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?

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.
