The short answer
The closest alternative to the Arnold & Son Nebula Steel is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked 41mm — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto at $1,475 (vs $20,895 for the Nebula Steel) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Manufaktur Waldhoff Pioneer is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Massena LAB Chronograph Monopoussoir Sylvain Pinaud x Massena LAB ($180,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
