As Paxman said, the case (upper section of the case - bezel as they call it) is their "hardmetal" which is a Tungsten carbide powder compressed into this metal form. The lower section, where the crowns are, and caseback is in stainless steel. The bracelet also in SS with the clasps internal links and clasp extender piece (I think it's an extender?), is in titanium.
The anchor rotates freely and is not linked to anything mechanical in the movement. As I understand, the anchor is symbolic piece that RADO implemented into their dial designs to represent key parts that make up an automatic - the jewels and the swinging rotor. Something along those lines as I recall ;)
