How would you write out 12:05?

How would you write out 12:05?
 
How would you write out 12:05?  Not five after twelve, or five past twelve, but 12-o-5.  I thought it would be twelve oh five but then saw a website using twelve 0-five which didn �t seem right.

Oh is usually used as an exclamation of surprise �Oh! There you are. �  or �Oh dear. �

The �O � in time stands for zero so it �s treated a little differently.
 
 
Say the hour first and then the minutes. (Hour + Minutes)
  • 6:25 - six twenty-five
  • 8:05 - eight O-five
  • 9:11 - nine eleven
  • 2:34 - two thirty-four
