The short answer

The closest alternative to the Manufaktur Waldhoff Ultramatic is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Regulator Cinema ($1,475) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch at $450 (vs $1,599 for the Ultramatic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Manufaktur Waldhoff Ultramatic II is the standout microbrand take — same family (Ultramatic) and Racing chrono.
