The short answer

The closest alternative to the NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat ruthenium is the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig automatic ($3,670) — shared caliber (Nomos DUW 5001) and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Junghans max bill Automatic at $1,770 (vs $3,700 for the Tangomat ruthenium) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Asthet Edition Lumare is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Classic dress.
