In 1932 was produced the most interesting [[Météore]] model, the [[Pullman|Pullman 35]], a [[button filler]] pen built with a peculiar mechanism, in which the body could be made ​​to slide, by pressing the bottom, inside of the cap. This was equipped with a movable top hinge, which opened thus letting out the tip of the pen and nib. The same concept, even if made ​​with a different mechanism, was adopted three years later by [[Aurora]] with the [[Asterope]], and both pens are regarded as the precursors of the [[Pilot]] [[Capless]].

A parte la novità assoluta costituita dal modello [[Pullman]] la [[Météore]] continuò a produrre penne di stile ordinario ed in genere abbastanza conservativo, mantenendo a lungo lo stile ''[[flat top]]''; solo nel 1941 vennero adottate linee leggermente più [[streamlined|affusolate]] ma con la guerra in corso le restrizioni portavano all'uso di pennini in acciaio piuttosto che in oro. I modelli di quest'epoca erano denominati [[Prior]], [[Selection]], [[Record]] e [[Pullman]]. Nel 1942<ref>la data è indicativa, e viene riportata in [http://web.archive.org/web/20071012135105/http://stylos-francais.fr/meteore.php] ma è fortemente dubbia dato che compare in pubblicità di datazione presumibilmente precedente (le date delle pubblicità provengono da annunci e da deduzioni relative ai testi citati nel retro e non sono a loro volta completamente attendibili).</ref> a causa della scarsità degli approvvigionamenti di oro i pennini vennero prodotti in acciaio in una lega metallica chiamata ''[[Vaedium]]''.

Aside from the novelty represented by the [[Pullman]] model the [[Météore]] continued to produce ordinary pens, and generally was quite conservative, maintaining for long the [[flat top]] style. Only in 1941 slightly [[streamlined|tapered]] lines were adopted but, with the war going on, restrictions led to the use of steel nibs rather than gold. The models of this era were called [[Prior]], [[Selection]], [[Record]] and [[Pullman]]. In 1942,<ref>the date is indicative and is reported in [http://web.archive.org/web/20071012135105/http://stylos-francais.fr/meteore.php] but it is highly doubtful given that appears in advertising dating presumably the previous year (the dates of the advertisements come from ads and deductions related to the texts cited in the back and are not themselves completely reliable).</ref> because of the shortage of gold supply nibs were produced in steel, using a metal alloy called ''[[Vaedium]]''.
