In [[1932]] production was reorganized, and an economic model, the [[Special 8]] was launched; it was a [[lever filler]], in black or marbled celluloid black with an metal alloy nib.

The next year another models reorganization was made, the [[Special 8]] economic model was introduced, with a metallic. The pen had two ring on the cap and and black or marbled body; the same was for the [[Luxe]] and the [[Superluxe]] models that were coupled with it, but that were equipped with gold nibs. It was then introduced the ''[[Superluxe|Superluxe Grosse Containance]]'' model, with an increased size and bigger ink capacity, that had a decorated band on the cap. The [[Special 8]] e [[Luxe]] models were provided with a tie-shaped clip inserted on the cap, while the [[Superluxe]] and ''[[Superluxe|Superluxe Grosse Containance]]''  had a spear-shaped [[washer clip]]. The next year the clip was engraved the name ''Bayard''.

In [[1935]] the [[Superluxe]] cap rings were replaced by a decorated band. The clip of both this model and the ''[[Superluxe|Grosse Capacité]]'' (new name of ''[[Superluxe|Grosse Containance]]'') model were built in the shape of a tie, but without the ''Bayard'' name engraving. In [[1937]] a model with an intermediate size between the [[Luxe]] and the [[Superluxe]] was introduced. It was called [[Special Luxe]], and made by marbled colored celluloid, with the usual decorated band on the cap, which decoration was amended the following year.

Nel [[1935]] le verette della [[Superluxe]] vennero sostituite da una banda decorata, ed il fermaglio sia di questa penna che della ''[[Superluxe|Grosse Capacité]]'' (nuovo nome della ''[[Superluxe|Grosse Containance]]'') vennero realizzati a forma di cravatta, ma senza la scritta ''Bayard''. Nel [[1937]] venne introdotta una versione di dimensioni intermedie fra la [[Bayard Luxe|Luxe]] e la [[Superluxe]], denominata [[Special Luxe]], realizzata in celluloide dai colori marmorizzati, e dotata della solita banda decorata sul cappuccio, che venne modificata nel motivo l'anno successivo.

In that same period two other flagship sub-brands were also used directed towards two different market segments: the ''Excelsior'' brand for the second tier of medium quality pen production, and the ''Alpin'' brand used for cheaper pens produced for the lower end of the market, mainly students and schoolchildren.

In [[1940]] there was a restyling of the [[Luxe]] line going towards a more streamlined cap but maintaining the conical ends of the pen. It was also introduced the new [[Superstyl]] model, still a [[lever filler]], in two  versions for men and women. The [[Superstyl]] had three rings on the cap and a spear-shaped clip with a double "V" pattern; it was made of celluloid produced in many colors, and equipped with a gold nib. The next year the [[Super Luxe]] model was introduced, a cheaper and smaller pen, reiterating the lines of the [[Special 8]], and aimed at young people.  

Nel [[1940]] venne eseguita una ristilizzazione della linea [[Bayard Luxe|Luxe]] passando a forme più affusolate del cappuccio (ma mantenendo le estremità coniche), ed introducendo il nuovo modello [[Superstyl]], sempre con [[caricamento a levetta]] ed in versione da uomo e da donna. La [[Superstyl]] era dotata di tre verette sul cappuccio ed una clip a forma di punta di lancia con un motivo di due "V" sovrapposte, realizzata in celluloide di vari colori e con pennino in oro. L'anno successivo venne introdotta la [[Super Luxe]], un modello più economico di dimensioni minori, che riprendeva le linee della [[Special 8]], e destinato ai giovani.
