The short answer
The closest alternative to the Magrette Matau is the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite ($1,995) — cushion case and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Recraft Series at $265 (vs $1,580 for the Matau) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Magrette Tamanuitera is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (9015 Miyota) and Cushion case. Stepping up, the Longines ULTRA‑CHRON CARBON ($5,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
