The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ming 56.00 Starfield is the Ming 29.01 Worldtimer ($24,075) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Frederique Constant Highlife Automatic at $2,495 (vs $28,000 for the 56.00 Starfield) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Mark Time Watches M 6 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5810 ($75,019) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
