You're probably lucky that it's not there by default, most people try and remove it as it defaults to Wordpress version number (why?).

I found the best way to add it is to add the my_wp_default_styles function to your functions.php. Also a neat trick is to check the last modified date of the main css file and make that the version timestamp.

function my_wp_default_styles($styles) {
  $styles->default_version = filemtime(get_template_directory() . '/style.css');
}
add_action("wp_default_styles", "my_wp_default_styles");
