Style note: the rules of black tie
A dinner jacket in black or midnight blue, a white dress shirt with a turndown collar, a self-tied silk bow tie, and studs and cufflinks that match. The watch should be slim enough to slip under the cuff. Steel or gold, leather or bracelet, it should whisper, not shout.
Style note: the three-watch wardrobe
One dress watch for evenings, one steel diver for everything else and one chronograph for the weekend. Start with the piece you will wear most and build from there.
