To my knowledge, the only rectangular watches Omega makes today arer in the museum collection or the Deville X2, and they are all VERY expensive. $1600 sounds steep for restoration, but if you like this watch it is way cheaper than a new 'square' Omega.
There are a few alternatives you can consider for your money. For one, you can look on eBay for similar styled vintage Omegas that are in running order and may cost as little as $300-$500. Or, $1600 could fetch you a new quartz Omega or a like new automatic on the TZ sales corner, but they will probably have a round dial.
