The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ming 27.01 Ultra Thin is the Ming 17.01 — looks nearly identical and Manual. If price is the constraint, the Oris Artelier S at $2,300 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Isotope Mercury Shadow is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Manual.
