The short answer

The closest alternative to the Manufaktur Waldhoff Olympus is the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch ($450) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient 75th Anniversary RA-TX0210L10B at $375 (vs $759 for the Olympus) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Loresum LS01 is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Frederique Constant Highlife Perpetual Calendar Manufacture ($9,595) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
