The short answer

The closest alternative to the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date is the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 2date blue ($3,470) — shared caliber (DUW 4601) and Bauhaus minimalist. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Auto at $1,145 (vs $3,740 for the Metro 38 date) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition Oxford is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Bauhaus minimalist.
