With green grass finally peeking through the slush on the sidewalk and the smell of budding flowers in the air, we’re all emerging from our caves and blinking in the sunlight, drawing us toward discount airfare sites.

Spring inevitably means a big, juicy bite from the travel bug, which makes it the perfect time for luggage brand Aer to debut the new Go Collection.

This new line of packable travel bags is tailor-made for the urban adventurer who leaves the hotel in the morning with no plans to return until … well, the morning. With that in mind, Aer designed each of the four bags in its Go Collection to easily be rolled up or packed flat inside larger luggage, ensuring streamlined efficiency even in your transit from here to there.

The Go Collection features a clean, minimalist profile and a tweedy, heather black colorway, making it a fittingly neutral, yet undeniably distinctive addition to any wardrobe. As tough as it is tasteful, the 300D ripstop Cordura fabric (from which all the bags are built) is lightweight and durable, and trimmed with premium materials such as Fidlock® magnetic fasteners for quick and easy access. (The one-handed camera grab is a piece of cake with these fasteners.)

The bags also offer organizational compartments — a laptop pocket, quick-access pocket, water bottle/umbrella pocket, and interior stash pockets — that let all your essentials tag along.

Citizen unveils unite with blue collection
Sea of silence: citizen's new collection uses microstructures instead of pigments
Citizen BLUE collection

Citizen presented a new limited edition set. The Unite with Blue series features structural color dials. These dials create color variations when light reflects off them, mimicking the sea's changing moods.
Standard watchmaking uses pigments, but these dials do not. Instead, pigment-free ink with microstructures is used in the dials. The ink interacts with light, producing different colors. This technology is well-suited for Citizen's Eco-Drive, which uses light for power.
The set includes six limited edition models across Citizen's Attesa, Promaster, Core, xC, and L lines. Each model has its own interpretation of the "Sea of Silence" concept, which inspired the series.
Leading the collection is the Attesa Satellite Wave GPS (model CC4075-50L). Production is limited to 2,400 pieces, and the price is $2,215. The Super Titanium case has Duratect Platinum and Duratect DLC coatings for scratch resistance. The dial features multiple layers of blue representing the flow of time. The F950 movement includes satellite GPS synchronization, a perpetual calendar, and chronograph functions.
An Attesa radio-controlled model (CB0288-65L) is available at $1,215, with production limited to 2,000 pieces. It also uses Super Titanium and has a 40.6mm case.
For dive watch fans, the Promaster Diver 300m (BN1025-08L) offers ISO-certified diving capability at $750. Production is limited to 4,800 pieces. It pairs a stainless steel case with a biomass-based polyurethane strap made from Benebiol™, an environmentally friendly material.
The standard Citizen collection includes a radio-controlled chronograph (CB5874-81L) with a jet black plated case and a deep blue dial. The price is about $537, and production is limited to 5,500 units.
For women, the xC radio-controlled model (ES9490-95L) and L Collection Eco-Drive watch (EM1060-87L) both feature four diamonds on their dials, representing air bubbles. The xC model uses lab-grown diamonds, highlighting Citizen's focus on ethical sourcing. Production is limited to 1,200 and 2,000 pieces, respectively, with prices at $1,200 and $550.
In line with Citizen's focus on the environment, all models use recycled materials in dial components. The watches are scheduled for launch in June 2025, and their limited production numbers will make them scarce.
