Explanation:
Así lo diríamos en Chile.

"12 del mediodía" me parece una redundancia.

las doce en punto


Explanation:
El problema es que 12:00 noon es una hora precisa: el mediodía es una expresión extremadamente ambigua. En México, el mediodía puede ser a las 14:00 horas, por ejemplo, dentro del contexto empresarial, dado que es la hora en la cual la gente va a comer. Si quedan de verse para comer a mediodía, a nadie se le ocurrirá presentarse a las doce.
