The short answer
The closest alternative to the NOMOS Glashütte Zürich is the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig automatic ($3,670) — shared caliber (DUW 5001) and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto at $1,275 (vs $4,930 for the Zürich) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Kanton is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Classic dress. Stepping up, the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate ($12,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
