No, you don't.. But you could...gaskets are readily available through Otto Frei and the like.

The two mating surfaces are machined flat, so when screwing it down it pretty much stops once the surfaces are contacted.. If you are concerned about water-tightness then most watchmakers will pressure check your watch for a nominal charge.. This is something you should do once a year if you spend time in the water a lot..
