The more important question is "which watch goes best with a blue suit?"

Now you are getting it.
If I were cooler, I would 100% rock the Rado diastar. I am not and so would go with the gold Hamilton, perhaps with a strap swap.
I don't believe in watches with formal wear, but I would concur on either Hamilton being the best choice. Brown leather will not do though. I have heard something about silver tone being preferred. I believe the rationale was that gold represents the sun, silver the moon. And black tie is for the evening.
And thank you for not submitting a dive watch as an option.
Assuming black shoes, black belt, then choose between the Hamilton, Omega or Oris.
Either put the Omega on a black strap or wear the Hamilton 👌
Hamilton on black strap.
So is this is a true black-tie event? Or is it a fun fancy dress-up party?
If the former, then wear a black bow-tie and no watch. Do not, under any circumstances, wear a colored bow-tie unless everyone wears the same color!
If the latter, then go with an orange bow-tie and the Rado.
Hamilton on the black leather.
Definitely the Hamilton with the black strap

Hamilton gold for the win
Omega on a different bracelet/strap, or the Hamilton as is.
